Default Procharger Startup

First and foremost, I'd like to thank my buddy Jason(98CobrakillaTA) and Virgel for working on my car for me while I was deployed. I'd also like to thank Bob @ EPP as well as all the members on here that have posted up very valuable information in regards to Prochargers. This video is about a month or so old but here is the startup after it was tuned.



Powerwise I only put down 487 rwhp and 467 lb-ft trq on 6 psi with the belt slipping on a P1SC 8 rib 3.7x" blower pulley. The belt that was installed during the dyno run was meant for a 4.25" blower pulley so we'll see what happens when the right sized belt is installed. I'm not too sure about how much of a difference this makes but the dyno was a Superflow SF 840.

I think that is pretty good for a P1 on just 6psi. Car sounds sweet!

Sounds almost dead on with what my numbers were when I was on a P1SC and exhaust with 6psi and a bone stock engine. (mine was 489/462) It was SOOOO much more reliable back then before I got greedy with the boost Nice!

I hear ya on reliability, I daily drive this car atleast 40+ miles a day and haven't had any problems with the car. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens once the correct sized belt gets installed.

Thanks! Make sure when you put the new belt on it that you take it easy on it for about a half an hour, then retighten it. New belts always stretch, and you want to tighten it back up before it starts to slip. Bob

Thanks guys, the new belt will eventually make itself onto the blower sometime this weekend.

lol... From what I've read, all they do is sound good. Performance wise, for our cars they're at the bottom of the list amongst all other systems available for our cars.
