They each have their place and their niche markets. Prochargers are great track power adders because of the power delivery method. Always will be. But I'm a turbo guy through and through.

I'll have me a procharged G8 sooner or later

Guy around these parts put down 747hp on 14psi from a D1 in his G8. That would make quite a grocery getter!

Technically, none of the damn missions have been successful in my eyes, but you get the point. Procharger's a good product, I'm not arguing that, but I'm not buying the whole "pioneer of the market makes a superior product" bullshit.

WTF are you babbling about

I think twin D-1's on a 400+ CI LSX built for boost would be perfect! Run both at a friendly 10 psi, and hold onto something haha! Personally I think it is a great solution to my truck. I have been looking for something different. Does anyone have more info/leads on the gear driven twin setup pictured earlier?

Love the Centrifugal's. Have installed a few myself. Also have installed a few Magnusons as well as owning one. Now have a turbo. Each have their own unique characteristics / selling points. To each his own... nice to know there is an awesome selection in this market for differing tastes

I'm "babbling" about being a first in any industry doesn't mean that the company makes a superior product--coming from a former ProCharger owner, myself.
