stick with a procharger man. your gonna need some great fab skills and deep pockets to mount a roots style blower. youd be better off selling your car and buying a cobra if ur popping boners over roots style blowers..

If you look at Hawk's 3rd gen you can have the Magancharger and install/tune for $7995.

They do, but it's the MP112, which in my opinion, doesn't make enough power to justify the $8,000 that it costs. For $8,000, you can buy a D1SC procharger kit and have it installed for less than that and then you have the ability to make upwards of 600-800 horsepower without having to change the blower.


jbro90, I'm running a Procharger, D1SC blower, with a custom from mount intercooler with all the neccesary parts to make over 600 rear wheel horsepower right now. Granted, I went the heads/cam/intake/headers route first, then installed the blower this summer. But if you go with the MP112, it just doesn't have enough capacity to feed a well breathing motor. The most I've heard a MP112 make is low 500's but at the price of lots of heatsoak and I high intake temperatures.

I agree with the price tag but the initial buy in for the ATI is more than the maggie kit(both without install). So I would think the price for the ATI ($6700)would be more if the install price is the same. That's without the D1, 8 rib and intercooler upgrade. The OP mentioned the maggie and doesn't seem to know how to install so I posted the link to a maggie with install/tune price.

On another note, I've read alot about overheating with the ProCharger kit for the Fbody. Have you dealt with this? I noticed you're in PA so it may not be an issue.

If I haven't read so much about the overheating I'd probably already pulled the trigger on the ProCharger. I drive daily in Texas heat and there's no way I would even want to deal with that. Not to mention record heat here in Texas this year to boot!

The overheating problem can easily be overcome by swapping out the ProCharger fan with Spal pn#30102082. The ProCharger can be even be deleted when initially ordering the ProCharger system, so you're not having to buy a fan twice. The ProCharger blower stays much cooler than a blower that is mounted on top of the engine, and the ProCharger D-1SC has powered a full weight '98 T/A 347 (KP on here) into the 8's in the 1/4. The ProChargers are proven performers. Bob

Guys, I'm not doubting the ability of the ATI or trying to compare the two. It was just mentioned so I was just trying to be helpful and point out where he could get one. I'm well aware there's more power to be had with the ATI. LOL


Any way to use the stock fans? I've seen turbo guys standing up the radiator. Would this do the trick?

Yes, if you stood the radiator up you could use the stock fans. It does take some modifying though to make it happen. Bob
