I emailed Race Proven Motorsports in DE about dyno tuning(they did my '01 SS back in 2010). The said they only need 1-2 days prior notice and they can do the tune while I wait. (I'll be trailering it down) They also suggested 60lb injectors to leave room for future upgrades.
So once I get back from my 2.5 weeks of training with the National Guard(tomorrow-aug25th) I'll then finish up the odd and ends in a day or two and get this thing on the trailer. Hopefully by Sept 1st it should be on the road.

Hope you have the belt routed so the supercharger spins in the right direction

Possible 1st start up later today....
It will just be at idle due to stock tune and stock injectors.
I only need to verify proper belt tracing and no leaks in the coolant system.
If that all goes well, the new injectors and fuel pump will go in tomorrow/Thursday and I'll contact the tuner about bringing the car there on Monday or Tuesday.

Chased a few gremlins in order to fire it up for the first time... Ignition powered on, but no crank at all.
The Driver Information Center was throwing air bag codes, a/c codes, theft security system codes, no gauge info, no outside air temp display, etc etc...
Turned out to be a poor connection in the fuse box that I had taken apart. I went over it all again and solved all those issues.
The oil scavenger pump will be wired up to the fuel pump trigger but through the new racetronix hotwire kit. Since I don't have the harness yet(coming tomorrow) I just jumped the oil pump trigger wire to the battery as you'll see in the video.
The sound is not as high pitched in person as it comes across in the video.
All I need to do now are gauges, injectors, and fuel pump, then time for the tune at RPM in Delaware next week.
I pulled it out of the garage and let it get up to temp to check for leaks and to verify that the fans work and wouldn't overheat. I then washed it since it was filthy from sitting almost 5 months.

Well.... project has come to a complete standstill...
Headunit is a piece of crap. Its going in the trash. It was producing 0 boost, when i popped off the pipes to check, I found Oil all in the I/C pipes(just up until the downward bend to the intercooler- no oil past that bend)
the seal is leaking oil into the volute chamber, yet i had new seals installed 6 months ago, go figure.
Also there are small chunks of the outside edges of the impeller missing. it doesnt look like they broke off but that they had been that way for a while.
The impeller wont even come off the shaft so I can check the seals. Im just very dissapointed in my overall purchase of the headunit considering that was the only real piece i ended up keeping and using out of the used kit i bought.
Later today I'm just setting the car up with the stock belt configuration so I can at least drive the car like normal for the time being. The Intercooler and custom rad setup will all remain in the car to be used with the new headunit. Since its still a stock engine, Im just gonna go for a procharger d1sc, no need for an F1. And the oil supply/return pump will now be up for sale. I'll buy the new supercharger in a few days once I relax a little and bring myself to spend the money....

Who did the seals? Impeller shouldnt have any chips on it or wear on edges. That was a new impeller that was modded for higher flow/psi. Wondering if shop you used for seals gave you someone elses unit or parts.

i sent it to supercharger rebuilds in TX, they supposedly only did the oil seals. The impeller looks to be exactly the same one that was in there, which was custom ported.
when i opened it up today is when i noticed the chunks missing. i'll post a pic in a bit.
