Default Supercharger Upgrades

Hey guys,

Quick question. Keep in mind I don't know much about FI, or superchargers for that matter, so if what I'm saying doesn't make sense, just let me know, thanks .

How much boost can you run with the Procharger P1SC supercharger, if you change pulleys? At what point do you need to upgrade(D1SC?) I want to run about 12-14psi tops. Also, can you give me a rough idea of how much the upgrade costs?

What about Vortech, at which point(psi of boost) do you need to upgrade to the V-trim or Y-trim, etc. I'm not sure what trim levels support in terms of psi of boost? I see that Pro Stock John is running the Y-trim and is running 746rwhp, that is above my goals(although i wouldn't mind it ) I would only like to see about 600-650rwhp when I supercharge...engine will be forged bottom end w/ FI cam, 50lb? injectors, 6.0L Stg II heads, ported oil pump, all bolt-ons, LS6 intake, upgraded fuel rails, relocated upgraded coils, and some other small appearance goodies.

Basically I need to know what "stage" SC I need to run, and an average price cost from the sponsors for one.

Thanks for your time,
Ralph

Clint is the local P1SC expert I think, I think he's hit 630rwhp or something with 11-12 psi.

Vortech G Trim looks like it can put out about the same number comfortably.

I have a 1500 cfm YS Trim race unit. It has now been superceded by the 1600 cfm YSi.

Thanks guys, after doing some research, I think I will go with the D1SC, this way I could always up the boost, if need be. Thanks again!
