been done i've seen both a Ford & Dodge

*can't find Dodge pic*

hmm... got any TVS cogs you don't need?

 

Mine has the helical cut gears....dead quiet. Much better than the old days.

 

only reason I went turbo is because Ive never built one before. Ive had blowers and nitrous on all my other toys.

 

Same with me. My next build might be a procharger.

 

I've been tossing around the idea of doing a "street" truck like mine originally was, with a procharger. I'd like to try out a couple of ideas I originally had and then some new ideas with the holley efi in a street setup.

If I could have my cake and eat it too, I'd have a procharged street truck that would dominate the street truck ranks. I figure to do it like I wanted it would take about $25k not including the price of the truck and it would run much better than my old set up that I had over $40k in.

 

I think the upfront cost of a pro charger kit drives a lot of people away. The perceived notion is that a turbo kit can be setup for $2500-3000 which isn't true in the long run. People see the budget turbo build by guys like camaross and others and think hey he went 10s with an On3 turbo why can't I just slap one on and do the same. They fail to see the whole picture. The looking at pro chargers usually ends with the 8k complete basic kit think damn only 8lbs screw that I wanna go 10s or whatever other BS. Prochargers aren't as common I think mostly, because that first guy hasn't run out and killed it yet. First one into the nines just this month and first into the 10s wasn't all that long ago it seems like. Then again it seems like the industry isn't full of pro chargers anyways.

 

The initial upfront cost is prob a bad selling point for sure. It is all about the set up, that even in turbo apps, will get exp. But there are plenty of procharged cars on the racing circuit running in the 6's. Blown is the first guy to go hardcore with the set up. Even his old set up with a 10.4 was hauling *** with only the D1, that was done years ago, before the turbo scene started jumping.

 

same here. maybe someday i can step up my game and try FI.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the d1 is a bigger better unit than the p1. The impellers and flow of the d1 compared to the p1 are the not same and therefore testing a ford 6.2 w a d1 vs a Chevy 6.2 w a p1 would not be a fair comparison???

 

I would have to agree. When we ordered the kit for my truck (when I still had the Sierra) we upgraded to the D1 cause the 6.2 would max out the potential of that P1 very quickly. Heck I know a guy with a 6.0 that's ready to get rid of his P1 for a D1.




anyways. Prochargers suck.....
