Procharger for L98
While I've seen some posts about supercharging, I haven't seen too many for my L98.

Has anyone used this particular kit? At roughly $30/HP it's not exactly a bargain, but it seems like a pretty good kit- fairly easy, high fun factor, etc., etc. Tho it looks like there aren't so many SC kits for this motor left.
I welcome any and all comments....

I do not have any experience with the ProCharger D-1 but I did purchase their smaller P600B kit and found it to be much more time consuming to install than they led me to believe. Also, knowing what I know now, I personally would not advise anyone to install a 10 psi system on a stock L98. I think for nearly a $6,000.00 investment you would be better off building a stroker motor. There are so many variables when you run forced induction that you really need to think it through.
I wound up with a purpose built low compression forged 383 running 11 psi boost and couldn't be happier. Of course you will get all sorts of opinions and I am not saying they are wrong. I am just saying that if you are not committed to FI, I think you will be disappointed with the amount of cash you spend, the unforseen problems and the very real potential of major engine damage.
Good luck in whatever you decide,

A stroker gets you all that power without waiting. Probably more when compared to FI on a stock L98. On demand any time you want. Plus, with zero miles on a stroker motor, your investment goes much, much further.
Yours was my first thought as well. After some reading, I went the 383 route. And, I'm VERY glad I did.

Properly done, plan to spend 2.5X kit cost to have a complete FI engine. If you are truly going to stay at 6-8 psi, then the kit can be done alone. However most do not stay at the 6-8 psi range for long. We always seem to want more.
The kit you are looking at is very similar to what I started with many years ago. As mentioned above, visit the FI/N2O area for more discussions.
