Default Changing my set up

I was thinking about getting rid of my P1SC. I want to stroke my block out to a 5.0 with a forged rotating assembly. I would get some head work and a Bullitt intake.

Seriously man. Screw that knick-knack ****. Cryogenically treat everything and then watch it withstand some serious power from the p1sc!

The reason i wanted to get rid of the Procharger is because i have had nothing but problems since i first had it. It just seems like i am putting a lot of stress on all of the accessory drives(water pump, alt.,ps,).

First week after installing it, the altenator went out. After replacing the altenator, i started having trouble with pulley alignment and i was eating up belts. Ok, i corrected the alignment issue then a month later i started leaking power steering fluid. I replaced the pump, which was actually the cause of my belt problems(fluid was leaking on the belt, causing it to slip).

The following year i had to replace the tensioner, the bearings went out in the idler pulley, replaced a water pump(that is still slightly leaking), and i had to start carrying around a belt replacement kit.

Moving on to the next year, i started having trouble with bracket flex. The bracket design for the P1SC is a pos.

Did i also mention that i have never even been to the track with it. I was a menace on the streets but those kills wasnt even worthy.

Most of the time, people ask me to post video of drive bys or whatever. I cant never produce them because after i fix one thing or do a new mod, a new problem arises. I know this is all a part of this hobby but damn... i need ****ing break and a chance to enjoy the car.

Perfect example.... I just spent damn near a week installing LT's... biggest install i ever done... i am stoked to start it up....and what happens....

The water pump is leaking(all bolts are tight). Its a new water pump with a new O ring. And its not leaking from the weep hole, its leaking from the bottom of the pump itself. I took it back out and put a brand new O ring in and it still leaked. WTF... I replaced the original one because it was leaking from the bottom, also.

Dude,that sucks. How many miles do you have? Have you tried using something better than stock when it came to replacing the water pump.

The water pump has just became an issue. And what options do i have with water pumps, other than a electric one?
