No apology necessary Bob... I have a feeling that if you were at ATI, you would build it yourself if you had to

Thanks Troy! This is the time of the year where everyone at ProCharger is slammed. I'm waiting on an answer back on when your head unit is shipping out. I'll let you know asap. Thanks. Bob

94a will have miles of room to grow also, very curious to see the shape of the dyno curve especially at upper rpm, and IATs relative to the d1 for your setup Troy.

Part of it is packaging, and that the -94 just came out. When I put my setup together 2 years ago, it wasn't available, but an F1A was for a decent price.

I'm not sure you can just bolt up a -94 on a f-body without having to modify the radiator due to space constraints.

F1A-94 is the same size and diameter as the regular F1A. It has a 4" inlet instead of a 3.75" though

I thought it stuck out further from the mounting bracket than the F1-a?

Guess I'll find out soon enough. I was told it should fit with no modification by ATI and Bob so I haven't thought about it much since then.

F-1A-94 = New F-1A w/ 3.70 new design impeller, new 9” volute. You'll be good to go Troy. Bob

So you're telling me I could swap from my F1-a to a -94 and just need a larger inlet hose?

Hmmm, have to keep that in mind.

That is correct, the 4.00" inlet is all you have to contend with. Thanks. Bob

Got the F1A-94 last night and filled it up with 4 oz of oil. My D1 did not make a sound when you spun it, this thing didn't sound right to me. Anyone with a F series find that theirs sounded similiar, check my link above. I'll call ATI later but was just curious since, like I said, my D1 was quiet as a church mouse when I did this same test.

Your D1SC probably had helical gears in it

Each of these head units are tested at ProCharger before they are shipped out. You should be good to go. Thanks Troy. Bob

I'm sorry, it doesn't sound right to me... when in doubt, check it out.

I'd get someone at Procharger on the phone, and let them take a listen, or send them that video.
