Yes pretty bad too, it was trapping 127 in the morning and then went to 120-122. Also the iat's were 190, even with it having meth so idk whats going on with that

Hey guys been reading alot lately thinking about biting the bullet on a d1 build... Blown06 you have been my main resource lol, Ive got a 05 rclb 2wd with the 5.3 plans are a 80 swap and then build a new forged engine, but I'm looking for more information on a full build designed for a procharger eventually I'll get an f1 it's not a daily will many see street and track but I've been a diesel guy for years and just getting back into gas any suggestions

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.

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.
