Pro charger

Ok guys been tossing the idea of going with a pro charger on my truck right now it's a bone stock 02 5.3 with just a stock pcm that has been flashed with just the basic get it running tune.
My question is after install would the tune that's in the pcm now be safe enough to start and run for a little (not drive down the road) before getting a real tune.

Re: Pro charger

You'll max out all the fuel trims but it'll idle a p1 or d1.

Re: Pro charger

Not real sure I want some good power but still be streetAble. That was the next question what would the guys that know what their doing recommend, I was looking at the kits for the Silverados and figured I would just modify to make it fit

Re: Pro charger

Look into the magnacharger which would have a better low end grunt then the procharger also is a liquid cooled.

Maggies run higher intake temps and peak earlier. Either setup can run liquid cooling. Larger prochargers have to run liquid/ice.
