Procharger guys
This thing has definitely died down!!! Checking in with a 410ci, F1A/C, 4l80e.
Have been a 6.10 @112mph on 12lbs boost with the TH400 at 3750lbs raceweight.
Went 10.63 @125mph on 6lbs boost with the 4l80e at over 3800lbs. Getting the belt slip issue fixed soon

2000 trans am f1 forged lq4
so i just got done w/ my build and got it tuned, still got a lil ways to go (need a single intercooler setup) but i put down some ok numbers for now

Had no idea this thread existed, I'm fixing to pull the trigger on a procharger, I only want to run 5psi and make it a true daily driver, does anyone know the pulley combos? I found a d1 for sale in the classifieds and a j bracket, anyone think I would have any belt issues? I'm also gonna get the racetronix pump and kit, it's going on a crate ls6 motor and I only want 5psi because I'd like the thing to live for a few years.

* Cubic inch. The larger the engine the less boost it will make with a supercharger.
* Headers and exhaust. A better flowing system will produce less boost, requires a smaller pulley to regain the loss in boost. Ultimately though, more power will be gained.
* Camshaft and heads. A camshaft with some overlap will leak out some boost through the valves. Better flowing heads react a lot like a better flowing exhaust system.
* Altitude. Elevation plays a big part in how much boost is produced. Those people living in the higher elevations have to spin the blower harder to see boost.
* Condition of engine. An engine with real good sealing rings will ultimately produce more boost than one with worn rings.
* Rpm. An engine that is spun up higher in the rpm range will normally produce more boost.
I recommend raising your intended boost up to 7 psi. 5 psi would hardly make it worthwhile installing the ProCharger, and you wouldn't feel the boost come in until 3500 to 4000 rpm in the power band. Bob

How much boost the blower can produce depends on many variables.
* Cubic inch. The larger the engine the less boost it will make with a supercharger.
* Headers and exhaust. A better flowing system will produce less boost, requires a smaller pulley to regain the loss in boost. Ultimately though, more power will be gained.

got a few questions for you guys
anybody with just a brether have any issues with oil blowing every where??
and also i currently only have the procharger supplied fan, havent installed it yet, but is this thing no good? should i just sell it and buy the spal?

Verdad Gallardo The ProCharger fan works just fine until you are stuck in heavy traffic in the Summer on a hot day, and you have the a/c on. If you encounter situations such as this, then you may want to go with the Spal fan. Bob

I strongly suggest you get the front mount intercooler from the beginning. I am of the mind set do it the best way the first time.
It is somewhat common for oil to drip out of the breather, and it can at times splatter a little, but you shouldn't have oil blowing out everywhere.

i might be able to get by with the supplied fan i dont drive the car much and rarely am in traffic around here
Does it do a better job of BOV placement? It's a 100% daily driver and it rains a lot in Houston, or is it just the bypass valve that has a lot of problems? I was thinking of going with a tial because it has a pretty nice design and isn't retarded loud. I'm sorry for so many noobie questions, just new to the whole FI game. Anyone have a write up how to do the spal fans, because what Bob just described like 2 posts above me is EXACTLY what I'm going to do.
WOW, that's what I'm talkin about! Very nice sir. I have a soft spot n my heart for hot rod trucks.
What head unit? F2? F1-X? This is the truck you shot the video of with the water blowing out of the overflow bottle? Anymore videos?

Here is a compilation vid from that day, its a bad *** vid:
The vid of it pushing the crazy water was on 24 psi.
I have an Air to Water inter cooler. That's what I mean when I say liquid cooled. Not the head unit itself 
Very impressive sir! That truck has some very nice work on it. I'm shocked though at how quiet the F2 is on your set up. It must not be spinning very fast with that pulley combo in that video. Thanks for posting!
24psi with an F2 is a lot of air for a small block!
