With the D1 there are issues of belt slip and break, it also depends on how much boost you want to run. The more boost the better the chances are of belt slip or break to happen. The way to fix this problem is to get a cog belt setup, it usually goes for around $1,500. The P1SC I have with 8 PSI hasn't had any of these issues. You will basically pay the same for either the charger or a turbo setup since they require the same upgrades as well as boost. With my knoweldge the Pro Charger is proven to be more efficient than a turbo! The reasoning for this is you have to wait for the power to spool up with the turbo then the charger gains it's boost alot faster. You will have no problem making those HP numbers with either setup on pump gas. Alot of people have the F1 or the D1 and are pushing over 600RWHP on pump gas.

I like the Reichard racing pulley that I run. I was the first car with it on there and Jimmy the owner seems to have really found something here. No slippage and the pulleys make 2 more psi over the ATI pulley due to no slip.
