Default procharger install in FL?

Does anyone know a reliable place for the ATI Procharger to be installed on an LT1? I am trying to find somewhere between Daytona and Orlando for example? Also, do I need anything else that is not included in the basic kit, for ex, updated (95-96) optispark, 24lb injectors, etc? Thanks for any help ladies and gents!!!!

JTB...I would give it a go for you. Always wanted to install one of those.

My buddy is putting one on an 89...just ordered it this week.

I would suggest you get the # for the injectors, etc. straight from ATI as they would be the best source for that answer.

I am sure it could be done in a day.

I am about an hour in a half north of Daytona.

69, thanks for the interest. We just bought a house so right now I am only in the early/research phase of which supercharger to go with when the time comes. I have heard really good remarks about the ATI Procharger and if I ever pick up the kit I may look you up! I have had a few people say it would probably add about 125 to the wheels. Not too shabby for 8 lbs of boost. That would probably put me around 375 rwhp overall. I just need to decide on whether or not to mod the 93, or just buy an 03ish Z06 in a couple of years and add some boost to that beast (Procharger or Magnacharger). Decisions, decisions.......Let us know how your buddy likes the outcome of his 89! ATI sent me some literature about, yep, an 89 'vette. Stock they ran 14.54 @ 96 mph; after the procharger was added, they gained 1.82 seconds and 17 mph in the quarter!!! (12.72 @113). WOW!!!

Okay,

I will most likely start a thread here and talk about the 89 once the install begins.

I think an MSD ignition box is a big help w/ charger.

The risk with a charger is that if the engine ever leans out by accident, the engine
could blow. I saw a blown 96LT4 at the drags and he was running 12.4's; at first,
12.8's when the tires wouldn't hook.
