Default F1X vs F2
Since I am going to build the dream project I wanna know which one do you think makes more power. I feel procharger under rated the f1x by a lot. A few people I talked to prefer the f1x. They say it's a modern blower. What are your thoughts.

There is a really good thread about this on Yellowbullet. Most of the opinions over there were that the F1X blower is an overall better blower.

I know a couple guys on Yellowbullet are ditching the F2 to go the F1X and now that there are 3 different models of the X its even better. I plan on putting the X on my Viper. I forget the name but there is a guy who put the F1X on his ford GT and made 1433. Its a killer blower.

This is something I have been wondering since I am in the process of going with a 385ci LQ4 and F1X. There is still a long list of things before the car is done.

Really need more info on the setup, but with those cubes, it would work great.

I run an F2 on my 408. It's in a 4100 lb truck and has been 8.99 at 153. I'd like to give the x a try. If anyone wants to donate......I'll make some back to back passes and report back.
