Great job.

Is the trans slipping? MPH seems a tad low for the way you come off the line and how a procharger makes power. Could be that the converter is a touch too loose too...

Do we have anyone doing a project or already using the new D1x yet?

I'd like to see how that thing is gonna work out. A back to back with a D1sc on the same night with zero other changes (that includes pulleys) would be fun to see.

havent seen a d1x yet, something to go lookup while stuck in traffic on way home. My tbss ran the d1, but was pretty tapped out with 400 lsx, 10.60s though. I would have run f1 but the hob bracket was questionable with that larger blower. I will say backpressure was a big issue, i tried running a 2-1 3.5 and blew a hole in muffler, or would blow the clamps off the collectors. Soon as i did a true dual egts dropped, backpressure non issue, and gained about 50 whp. I did have my d1 break the impellor shaft the first 50 miles I had it and almost dumped the entire setup, glad I stayed with it. I do wish the larger blowers had the helical cut gears, cause those things is sooo ******* loud at idle for a street car/truck.

I've been there and done the street/track procharged thing with a d1sc. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Sorry, I saw you use the word "suggestions". I meant let me know if you have questions.

Looking for some imput on a blower for a 370, can't decide between the new D1x or a F-1(not sure which one yet), I feel like the D1x may leave a lot on the table but it's capable of (1000hp) supposedly and an F-1 may be over kill. Goal is 700 whp but may want to turn it up later down the road, do you guys think the D1x will be enough or should I just get a f-1 and call it a day.

If you wanted to stay in the 700 rwhp range, I'd tell you to do the D1sc/x all day long as belt reliability can be bullet proof with that set up fairly easy if don't properly.

Obviously, the F-series blowers are going to require a little different approach to make sure you have reliability with the belts and stuff but it can still be done. It'll just cost a little more money. The upside to the F-series is better efficiency at higher boost levels, which can help manage IAT's a little better, also they will allow much further room to grow (even though the P, D and F1/F2 blowers can all use the same bracketry with the exception of the F1x-12).

Boost is addictive, but you have to be careful not to fall into the trap of you project evolving into an unfriendly race truck. That can happen easy as boost addiction is real.

Not sure what kind of vehicle you are looking at doing this with or all of the creature comforts that you would like mandatory so I can't offer much more than that.

If you need to get a plan together, let me know and I may be able to point you in the right direction.
