I am going to install a big centrifugal blower on my car sometime in the next year. My motor is already built for big boost so I'm looking to make around 900+ to the rears. I was planning on going with an F1 Procharger but have also recently been looking at a Vortech YSi as well. I'm just trying to get a good comparison of the two like... which has more boost potential, which is quieter, is one more street friendly than the other, does one sling belts worse than the other, and so on.

Except no subsitutes,go with the ProCharger.

I had the YSi, and i think the procharger is a way better option. The YSi is very quiet and durable as hell, but it has a terrible step up ratio. This makes setting up pullies very difficult as i was running a 2.75" to get decent boost. With the F1 you would be in the 3.25" range making belt life much better. Thats my $.02

Subscribing to listen....is the F1 to big for a 347?

Does anyone know if either the Vortech V-7 or the self contained V-3 will fit an f-body.

RMCR (Rocky Mountain Competitive Research) sells a bracket kit for the YSi, a cog drive to if interested. You do have to cut some of the underside of the hood and it's best to relocate the coils with the Thunder Racing kit.

The F1 and YSi are very close units in specs and performance. Now a F1-R is a completely difference story

I dont think so as I believe Bob at EPP and KP were running F-1's on stock cubed motors.

I'll let you know as soon as we get my tune dialed in.

RMCR is bad *** im pretty sure they can mount the cog setup ysi at the driverside bottom of the engine

What sort of pulley gearing are they using there ? teeth crank/blower ?

I'm looking for the metal air intake lid that Vortech makes, but I can't remember where I saw it. I looked on their site, but I couldn't find it. I want to use it to retain the use of the ram air no matter which kit I end up getting.

I think the lid you're looking for is the one 2001WS6Vert has on his car. It's a custom made lid from RMCR, not a Vortech item.

Get yourself F1A From EPP with FMIC the car should be 700+rwhp with mid boost and pump gas then you can run more boost and race gas you'll be close 900hp.

Oh is that Patrick G's old car???? it looks awesome.

Thanks man, yeah it is and I am trying my best to keep the car looking and performing to the highest it can. For budget reasons, I have been giving some thought lately to just going with a D1SC because this car is mostly street driven anyway and I think it could still make impressive power and be able to run pump gas all the way through (maybe with a little meth/water injection) with a maxed out D!SC.

you are ganna wear out that d1sc more wuickly with it turn all the way up all the time....get a bigger blower such as the f-1a and thisway it won't be so hard on it. the f-1 also has the larger step up ratio

I have seen cars with D1SC setups make over 800 rwhp before. I figured the D1SC would be more steerable in that it will run cooler and not be quite as super noisy. I don't want a supercharger that will pierce my ears while I'm driving in traffic. Is the Vortech a little quieter?

Accept no substitutes. Go with the Procharger.

Sorry, I had to fix that one.

I agree with Urban Legend...Accept no substitutes. Go with the Procharger.
