You've that boost roughly doubles the affect of spray, right? 
Upgrade from a S-trim to a procharger
Upgrade from a S-trim to a procharger Thinking of selling my S-trim that has 1500miles on it. Now would a D1SC blow a S-trim out of the water? its hard to believe by what the manufactors say. i also have a brad brand tube and wondered if i could still use it for a procharger setup? only looking to push 10-12psi max...
Email me if anyone is interested in a S-trim head unit, mounting hardware and some parts.

Depending on who you talk to, the D1SC is somewhere between the T-trim and the YSi Vortechs, so you would be moving up in the blower range. The route I chose, since I wanted to keep the superquiet V-2 gearbox, is sell the S-trim and upgrade to the T-trim. The S-trim maxes out at ~680fwhp and the T at ~825fwhp, and they use the same brackets, so it's a plug n' play solution good up to about the high 6xx rwhp with a manual and low-to-mid 6xx rwhp with an auto. PM me if you want to know where I got the new head unit for a VERY nice price - they aren't sponsors.
One other thing - the T-trim blower inlet is 1/8" larger than the S-trim, so your inlet tube will need minor mods. I could only get 7.2# with the S-trim and now have hit 11.7# with the same motor (built 383) and the T-trim.

Looks good, but 300 shot might be a tad optimistic...
As far as the superquiet gearbox (V-2 Vortech), if you upgrade to the V-1 T-trim, you get the straight-cut gears and a lot more whine, and the same headroom on the horsepower. Still the same mounting brackets. Maybe that would work for you...

The S-trim is capable of far more than most people realize. A long time ago, LJ was running 9.9's at almost 140 mph at full weight on a plain ole S-trim at 10 - 12 psi boost.
The T-trim is a good plug-n-play upgrade also, but you have to spin it faster to get the benefit.
