Need help on Procharging my Camaro

[domo69]

I am looking to install a D1 on my 1st gen 350 in my 69 Camaro and don't have any experience with superchargers. My head unit came form a 94 mustang and was told by Frank at Prodigy that it needs to be re-clocked so that the oil drain will be proper. Does it just need to be pointed down so that gravity helps it exit back to the pan, and is this something I could do? I do have a low comp set up probably in the 9:1 range but don't have the forged bottom end. It has a solid roller Crower cam in the high 500's lift (not sure about duration) 1:6 roller rockers, msd 6al, holley red pump, holley 4150 HP, 65cc/195cc aluminum heads. Prochargers brochure says that the 4150 HP series will accept blow through apps, but wondered if anyone was using one. Also, will my msd 6al need any add-ons to it, and will my holley red supply enough fuel? If not will a blue or black suffice? Oh yeah' if I use an intercooler shouldn't it bring boost down to a safe level for my application until I rebuild? Do ya'll forsee anything I might have left out? Thanks ya'll for your time and help.

I can't say on everything for sure, but I can say that a Holley red will not have the fuel pressure that you need to run a blower. You will need at the least 6 psi base pressure, plus the additional blower pressure. So, for 6psi boost, you'll need a pump capable of at least 12 psi, and a good amount of flow at that psi. I dont' think a blue or black will work either. You might need a BG or Aeromotive pump, and they will run a little more money.

With that said there is a cool little mod that can be done to the mechanical fuel pumps that will allow a boost referenced fuel supply up to I think about 6 psi boost (and maybe 500HP or so, so I'm told). But you are running electric, so that doesn't really help, unless you wanted to change back. 100mphwheelspinner could tell you more about that.

On the cam, you will need to know the duration and lobe separation angle, and installed centerline if possible to get a better idea of how things are going to work.
