You must gonna be doin something very special to hit 1000hp on 15psi with a D1SC cause I have never seen similar numbers with that particular Procharger & only 15lb of boost. I think you have a ton of research to do man. If you wanna make 1000hp with a Procharger you really need to look into a F1 not a D1.

I'm gonna tell you right now, you won't see those kind of numbers out of a D1. Nor an F1 on 15 lbs. Your best bet is doing the LS2 block, and an 88mm Turbo.... Check out Solid-Technology.com and you'll see what I'm talking about...

^^I wouldnt say you cannot hit those numbers thru a F1 procharger cause thats not entirely true. It is true in his case of his engine selection & limiting his boost though. But it would be possible thru a solid build on a 427 set-up with the F1.

But yes, a turbo set-up will hit the number easier. I totally agree there.
