91mmturbo

Well having had my motor finished and all my suspension parts ready to go as well as the fuel system, I have to decided to run a Procharger. A lot of people have advised me to run a turbo, but after reading these forums, it seems like most everyone needs help with a turbo, or something isn't working right. Not too many procharger complaints other than belt slip. I am running an LS9 headed 408, forged and ARP studded and have decided to sell my T56 and new triple disc clutch and will be buying a built turbo 400. The question and advice I am looking for is which F series do you recommend? I have heard good things about the A and C. But, better things about the R and X. One gentleman said go with an F2 and don't look back. I have no AC, and no power steering and and bmr turbo k. Thanks for the advice and help.

I have a 370 f1a and like it. All my friends have turbos. I have made 783hp with a th400 and have been 9.05@151. For what blower to get it all about how much power or how fast you want to go.

So, I assume since you stated a turbo K-Member. It's going into an F-Body? What type of belt set up are you wanting to run?

Like stated above, how fast you are wanting to go is a main thing in determining blower size. If I had the room or wasn't worrying about keeping my A/C, I would be running a F1X in a heart beat or an F1R if I could find someone to swap or buy my F1A that I'm running now.

ya, body style is important, if you want a kit or piece one together
the F2 is pretty large, fitment issues-the F1 series can make huge power, seen guys run 4.9's in the 1/8
the F1 series is aprx the same size as the D1SC, but the trans is a little thicker
is it a race car, or just street-the D series is cheaper, if street use only and can make good power-all depends on your budget and power goals
I have the transplant kit in my chevelle, using a D1SC but with a cog
its a little noisy using the cog, an F1 prob would have been a better choice
with a 6.0 and LS3 heads, I have plenty of power, blows the tires off in any gear-all depends on your goals

So are you looking to sell your F1A?

It's going in a 4th gen camaro. No a/c, no power steering. Radiator core support cut and plenty of room

My goals are mostly to run 8's in the quarter and crack 200mph in the Texas mile

In that case, F1X or F2 with a cog, and call it a day. Either of those would be plenty of blower to run well into the 8s and I'm sure with enough cool air (inter cooler) with some methanol would pull 200 in a standing mile.

Thinking of running an air to water and def running e85

I'd go with Dan Schoneck's cog bracket and an F-1X. Bob

Doesn't Dan specialize in mustangs?

He does, but he has a badass cog bracket setup for our cars. Here's a link to guy on here that is running one. There's a link to yellowbullet in the thread with some pics of it.

Oh snap!!! That bracket looks sick!!! Since I don't have power steering or air conditioning, and I'm going to use a motor plate, fabbing up a similar that Jay Biondo has in his 66 nova. Look it up, and tell me what u think

You talking about Jay's blower set up?

91mmturbo

Yes sir!!! I've got a buddy with some fabbing skills, I'd like to try it

Anybody have pics of dans bracket installed on a fbody?

Oh, no doubt it's a bad *** setup like that. Although not impossible, it'll be very challenging to get a big blower to fit in a 4th gen F-Body positioned and arranged like Jay has his.

You can always go this route. Post #250...

So, I've decided on the F1-X cog head unit, not the kit. What's the best price I can look at spending?
