2010 SS Camaro ProCharger Kit - Get Z28 Power Before It Hits The Streets

The surge valve assembly is installed on the lower intercooler tubing, then its vacuum source routed from the power brake booster line using a special fitting included with the kit.

With the meter installed, the inlet tube is set in place and coupled to the intercooler outlet tube using the supplied coupler. Once everything is lined up, using the included silicon coupler to connect to the tube to the throttle body. With all of the inlet/outlet tubes lined up and connected, go back and tighten all the hose clamps and make sure everything is sealed properly. If a coupler isn't sealed correctly, under boost it'll blow off and cause problems.

Reinstall the factory radiator overflow tank and reconnect the lines to the radiator. Then you can refill the radiator. After the install is complete, with the engine running, leave the radiator cap off and let the temperature come up and the thermostat to open so you can "burp" the engine of any trapped air inside the cooling system.

Here is the special fitting installed into the brake power booster vacuum line to supply vacuum to the surge valve. If you try to pull vacuum from another source, when the blower starts making boost, you'll have pressure instead of vacuum, and this will cause the surge valve to malfunction.

Now is the time to swap to larger fuel injectors. Each injector is held into the rail by a small clip. Using a small flat bladed screwdriver, release this clip, then slide the injector out. The factory units are 42 psi; the ProCharger squirters are rated at 65 psi.

Use a little Vaseline on the injector O-rings to help them seat/install in the rail easier, and prevent them from pinching. Once seated, reinstall the factory retaining clip, and you're good to go.

Next up is making sure the PCV system is rerouted properly for the blower. If you left this factory line in place, under boost, the blower would also pressurize the crankcase, which causes severe engine damage and possible failure.

The inlet tube is installed and secured with the supplied coupler. The tab just under the tube was used to mount the factory air box, and to clear the new inlet tube you might have to bend the tab out of the way for extra clearance.

With everything installed and tightened up, the nose is reinstalled in the reverse order of removal and the inner fender liners reinstalled.

Fully installed, the bright polished parts of the ProCharger kit light up the dark confines of the 2010's engine bay, and didn't require any sort of drilling, cutting, or other major modifications to the body of the car, so it can be returned to bone stock without a problem if you so desire.

Using an SCT handheld tuner, the required tuning of the Camaro's computer is done with the touch of a button so the most can be made of the supercharger's performance boost. The handheld unit also provides some fine tuning capabilities if you need to adjust any of the parameters of the "blower tune" installed on the computer, and will store the stock tune in case you ever remove the blower and run the car without it.

With everything all set, the car was strapped back down to the Mustang Dyno, and the results were fantastic. The Camaro made 519 hp at the rear wheels, an increase of 155 hp, still using the stock exhaust. With a better flowing exhaust, the blower's performance boost would increase substantially.
