$900 for an F1 with bracket is an absolute steal!!! You better jump on that now! Just make sure it is for an f-body. Even if the bracket is different, you should still jump on it. That is a nearly $3000 head unit. You need to make sure it is reverse rotation. You'd also need the intake ducting to make the kit complete. I have the complete intake ducting with intercoolers and everything I'd sell you if you need them. Shoot me a PM if you do.

Is this for your car? Stock internal ls1 + F1 procharger is not a great combo IMO. If you saving it for a future build then by all means go for it.

Get the serial# and call procharger. I can sell you all the intake piping that goes from the outlet of the supercharger to the intercoolers, the intercoolers themselves, and the rest of the tubing from the intercoolers to the throttle body. PM me or e-mail me chadchevy@yahoo.com

But an F1 on a stock engine would probably make more boost than is safe for a stock bottom end.

thats a whole lot of blower for a stock bottom end, you would have to run like a 6 foot pully on that thing lol, that is a steal for that head unit though, ive got the twin highflow intercooler kit you need for sale with all the tubing brackets and air box complete, give me a pm if your interested.

900.00 for an F1? Something doesn't sound right. That thing brand new is over $2700.00.

As someone else sad its WAY too much blower for a stock bottom end. Not saying you couldnt use it, but your stock bottom end wouldnt last long and if you were to buy a large enough pulley to lower how much boost it would be making the blower wouldnt be efficient at all. Sucks that the ad was bogus but youd be much better off with a p1sc or d1sc for your stock engine IMO. Good luck though and hopefully you can find another good deal on an SC.
