i know the video sucks but if you look at the drain line from the head unit and the bolt with the wires you can see the bracket moving

the motor moves around also from the rubber mounts so it makes it kinds hard to see

The majority of that looks like the motor moving. Whats going on there?

I've watched him do that first hand and I know the bracket has flex. You can see the bracket move in comparison to the silver area behind it with the ground on it. It seems that it could be a bit of an optical illusion where the bracket is so much closer to the camera, and maybe it is a little bit. But not really. With the trans bolted in place there is no way the whole motor would rotate in the engine bay that much. I can see rocking side to side or even lifting, but not much front to back or rotating on a flat plane the way he is putting pressure on it.

I guess the next best thing to do would be to take the same video with the bracket in place to show how it improves.

your using the trucks oil system to supply oil to the procharger like a turbo does?

my unit is self contained

that motor is moving a good bit but hows it moving when under load? do a go pro video to see for sure

my is self contained also my drain line is extended so its long enough to go underneath the truck

The stock ProCharger bracket kit was designed for mainly stock trucks, with mild combos.
Since that is 99% of the supercharger systems we sell for trucks.
(unlike mustangs and camaros)

Another ProCharger dealer offered a "Direct Drive" system for a while for higher HP trucks.
So we didn't have a real rush to make a "DD" system, since that smaller "niche" was being filled.

coming from a procharger owner that i paid dearly for, this is probably the worst comment Ive heard a company give. I mean I like my procharger, but this makes me reconsider all the procharger sales pitches i believed and that i should just swap to a turbo setup so I dont have any procharger parts that are simply not strong enough to hold up.
