An F1 costs the same as an F1A brand new (so you may as well get the F1A if buying new). Around $2800 last I checked, but call Bob and he will get you the current price. You can use everything on your P1 kit for an F1 also. But please tell me you ditched that 6 rib and got an 8 rib setup at least! Because the 6 rib sure as hell aint gonna cut it for an F1.

The F1 has a slightly larger inducer diameter, but slightly smaller exducer diameter than the P1SC. I am pretty sure you can use the same blower brackets. If you have the dual intercooler setup, I would think about going to a FMIC. Upgrading to a 8-rib setup would help belt slippage a lot as well as increasing the crank pulley size. The F1 is going to flow about 325 more CFM, so make sure your fuel system can handle the extra air flow. The F1 also have a internal step ratio of 5.4:1 verses the 4.1:1 of the P1SC. The boost will kick in much sooner

I used the same bracket from my P1 on my F1, and the same size tubing also mounts up without a problem. I did eventually go with a FMIC but I did run the duals for a while with the F1. I wouldn't recommend it tho unless you have meth to keep the IAT's under control. Also, you'll need a better BPV. I'd recommend the ATI red race one

I believe the F1A is as big as you can go to keep the same ducting, and the F1C is as big as you can go on that particular bracket without modification. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. Bob will have the answers for sure tho, just give him a call

What numbers are you looking for that you want to step up to the F1A? A D1SC is more than capable of great numbers.
