The heart of the kit is ProCharger’s P-1SC-1 centrifugal blower set up for making about 6 pounds of boost. The P-1SC-1 is a fully sealed unit with its own internal oil supply and lubrication, so no external oil hookups are necessary. The supercharger features a one year warranty, but for less than $50, you can extend that to a three year warranty.

A new $100 option ProCharger offers for the P-1SC-1 and D-1SC superchargers are helical cut internal gears to reduce operational noise. Our kit had the helical cut option, and with the hood closed, you couldn’t even hear the blower spinning with the engine running. If you want to hear that bit of blower noise, then you can specify standard, flat-cut internal gears when ordering your kit. Our kit also featured the polish option for the blower housing and all associated mounting brackets.

To prevent any trouble later on, once you remove the blower from its box, go ahead and fill it with the included, ProCharger specially formulated blower oil. Often people get distracted and forget to fill the blower with oil before starting the car, and after a short run time the blower’s internal gears will eat themselves.

Next up, the A/C compressor belt has to be removed. On the LS3, to remove the belt, the compressor has to be unbolted from its mounting bracket. Earlier LS engines features a separate tensioner for the belt, but on the newer models, belt tension is fixed and set by securing the A/C compressor. You’ll need to go underneath the car for this one.

Next, the balancer bolt is removed. From the factory, the bolt holding the balancer on is loaded with Loctite to prevent it from vibrating loose from engine operation. To remove it, use a portable propane torch to heat the bolt and nose of the crankshaft to loosen the Loctite and help make removal of the bolt easier.

The LS3 uses a purely pressed on balancer with no keyway for added security to keep the balancer from rotation on the crankshaft. With the load of the blower, this becomes necessary. Included with the kit is a pinning kit that allows you to “pin” the balancer to the crankshaft.

When drilling the nose of the crank for the pin, you MUST drill deep enough for the length of the included pin. Drill too shallow and the pin will interfere with the blower pulley and cause belt alignment issues among other things. To make sure you drill deep enough but not too far, an easy trick is to use some tape on the drill bit, mark off your depth with the tape, and when drilling once the tape hits the included drilling guide, you’re drilled deep enough.
