Im stuck on whether I want to go with this nice ass setup with the progcharger or go with a full swap turbo kit. I want to make some great power and I have heard the turbo kits that are being worked on sound promising with power and all and thats what im looking for 350whp+ any help or opinions would be nice.

You would just need to pay attention to the amount of HP it can support which is 650HP I believe. But, the smallest pulley appears to be 2.25" and the size above that which is 2.55" makes 22-25psi as listed above.

Obviously the LS1 will handle metering more air but with our stock one, just increase pipe diameter slightly and problem solved (sample size increase).

Well, if the LS1 MAF can read higher than the stock one, and it can be calibrated via HPTuners, I would go that route. A nice adapter harness for a "plug and play" setup would probably be a big hit with the guys on here to keep the install easy without extra wiring. Just my thoughts though. Keep up the great work!

So no real wait time and again if we can get a large enough order that = an awesome price!
So i wish i could have a date specific or a price but as soon as we have a solid kit and putting down numbers you guys will be the first to know!
Chevy Tech where we at do you think with a time frame...etc

Deja Vu
Kevin,
You know I'm interested, and I actually have the money, but............................
Not even a prototype kit finish, the only pics available are of somebody holding the procharger in place, and you're already talking about a deposit.
I understand getting excited about this thing but you should really make it work and show people real results, ON THE COBALT.
For all the kids about to jump on this, I don't want to hear about this thing working on anything else and how it shouldn't be a problem to fabricate a few parts and POOF magic. When JBJ has something actually mounted and is ready to start the tuning process then we MIGHT have reason to get anxious. Anyone remember the Hahn Twincharge or Tag Twinscrew? Each time I talked to Hahn they said it was being fine tuned and should only be about another week. That was over six months ago. And the Twinscrew, you don't even want me to start on that one.
I'm not saying this project is going to follow the path of the others but we need true, reliable, Dyno produced numbers, and drivable performance, again, ON THE COBALT.
Now I expect some of you that have read this to dazzle me with your ignorance and attack this post, but that's understandable. Those people will always exist. Some just don't want to accept reality.

Thats why Speed Mafia and JBJ are in this. The deposite will be only after I have started and ran the car with the mockup. Also the deposite will keep the price down for everyone.
and thats all.

Thats why its my car on the chopping block. If I didnt own the prototype car it would be a different story. But Im with you all the way. All I want to see is JBJ/SMP Power in every cobalt that kills vettes, evo`s ,and Sti`s. I want more videos on the web of cobalts showing people what the tail lights really look like

And I did some searching to find out that if you convert the c2 procharger to lbs/min like a turbocharger then its 75.9 lbs/min.
So I searched on the web to see some compressor maps. I found that even the larger turbochargers have a hard time flowing with the procharger. with a max pressure ratio of 2.64 (24psi) The only turbo keeping up is a gt4088r @ 75 lbs ish! Just some food for thought. Only problem is I dont have a compressor map for the C1 or C2 so I only know that max outputs.
If you take in the fact that it takes 30hp ish to run the procharger we are still going to be able to make some really good numbers
Man, I get more excited the more I look at it.

have a real quick question. what would be the difference if you gut gutted the supercharger and put the c-1 on and run the piping that way. this way you could run a "intercooler" piping from the gutted supercharger and the procharger and have the procharger with a real front mount. or just run the pipe from the procharger to the thottle body on the supercharger. either way it just seems it would cost less to use what you already have?
