Default Best Procharger for Street Setup?

Everyone seems to be going turbo these days... does Procharger have anything to compare at all?

I'm talking about making 700-1000whp on a s/c setup...

D1 will get you onto the 7xx plateau...depending on displacement/setup you could go F1 to get into the higher end...not sure how many guys run the F1 for street use. I'm sure someone will chime in that has.

F1C is great for the street.....

the only downside is that the blower whines a little louder....if thats something u dont like.

i have the F1R on a 403ci motor. Im barely spinning the blower and its making 13.4psi. at that pressure i put out 775rwhp. getting 1000rwhp is as simple as switching pullies. right know im using a 7" crank pully and a 4.25" blower pully. obviously there is room to make this thing flow. ill never be able to use the available capacity of this blower. even at 1000rwhp!

I have a D1 on a 383 LS1 and it makes 700rwhp @6400rpms with 12psi. I'm using the stock crank pulley and a 4inch blower pulley so I have plenty of room for improvement. If I go to a 8rib 7 inch crank pulley and smaller blower pulley (16-17psi)I should have no problem getting 775-825rwhp!!!

We just added methanol to the C5 and picked up an additional 35 rwhp, I'll be updating it on my website this coming week. Bob

Anyone have a dyno chart on these types of Superchargers?

I am wondering how the performance is compared to a Twin Turbo kit. I mean... going with a Procharged setup is much cheaper then a Twin Turbo kit but I don't want to sacrifice serious performance.

I was gonna get Twin T72s on my 385 LT1 but my heart always holds a spot for Superchargers and the whine/whistle they make. Think it's worth it getting a Supercharger to make in the area of 1000-1200whp and drive it on the street as I could with the turbos?

Thats something I love about them. The F1C is probably what I want to use, the F1R is more than likely wasteful for my goal. Nothing better than having some tool at a stop light throw a rev your way and then answer back with a sickass whine. YAAAAAAAAAAAH YAAAAAAAAAH, getcha some brother!

The F1A can get you into the eights in the 1/4, as KP on here will be doing in the near future. Bob

Chris
Ironically I just got off the phone with a tech @ procharger. I gave him the same question + I wanted room for improvement in the near furture. He recommended a F1r to me. My main reason I cant go with a f1r is because of the location ATI builds their brackets, the unit will interfear with the roll cage. Which cant be moved. So now its back to turbos. But I swear Im so close on ditch everything for Jucie!
Forced @ what rpm are you with the 13.4psi, are you intercooled? Here is a dumb question but what kind of milage do you get with your setup?
