replace procharger or go heads and cam

hello i have 1993 camaro with ati procharger 10psi procharger bearings went i am in doubt weather to go through speding another $1600 on procharger. I have 9.3 compression lt1 stock ported heads and intake heads only flow in 235 range. ring gaps are a little wide i have a 224/236 114 cam in it now i belive before with long tubes and good tune i had around 575 hp fuel limited 42 lbs injectors. Procharger went at track so i cut belt off and ran it na with blower tune readings with datalogger slowed950 mv at wide open it ran a 13.20 at around 107 i figure that is around 350 to 360 hp.

What is the max hp i could get with a le3 heads and cam with 9.3 compression and headers and a good tune. car is a 6 speed iwant to at least be trapping 118 to 120 what would you guys recoment

If you plan on staying N/A I would probably kick the compression back up.

Thats what I was wondering. If possible, I'm certain it will be cheaper then the hassle and expense of doing a heads/cam swap. Heck, even buying the new unit for 1600 is still a little cheaper then the LE3 combo.

Rebuilding your procharger is alot cheaper than $1600. I think its somewhere in the $800-$1000 range. dont call procharger. Call someone like EPP. Alot of times its cheaper to have one of prochargers dealers send it back.

I forgot to tell you that you can send your P1SC back and have it changed over to the D1SC blower for I think $1200.

lol talk to procharger then

the impeller hit the houseing new houseing $400 dollars new impeller $750 new bearings that are scattered $699 all with labor yes you can covert to d1sc specs for $1350 that covers the new impeller and houseing as part of upgrade but then the bearings and seals and labor to rebuild gear box trust me i talked everyone there. If some one wants to buy it from me and have the around $2000 dolllars worth of work i would sell the whole 2core intercooled kit -fmu and fuel pump for $625 shipped taht would be 2625 for d1sc kit i would give 2 pulleys to 3.7 and 4.25.

now on the heads and cam pack i am talking durability and ease of working on and. I do all own labor so that is out i am asking does anyone have a le3 heads and cam and t56 car with dyno numbers that is it
thanks
ryan
