stupid question

does anyone know where to buy a procharger online because there site doenst give listings and cost? oh and one more thing i dont really know all that much about supercharging but what are prochargers different models and what is the boost ratings? which would be best for a stock L98 like 8lbs max right? in order to up the pressure once i do some internal mods to make her stronger cant i just change pulleys to spin the supercharger faster?

Go to ProCharger's site and request information for you car. You'll get it within just a few days. As far as price goes, expect to pay between $3,500 and $4,000. I would suggest starting out with a D1SC and a large pulley to slow the blower down until your engine is built to handle more boost.

I would check out www.tenperf.com Willie built a 3rd gen twin high flow intercooler setup (unoffically) for ATI. Far as I know their the only ones that have the prices listed for it. Their prices also include shipping too!


I talked to ATI acouple years back when I was thinking about a D-1SC they seemed to think I couldn't get a big enough pulley to slow a D-1SC to 8 lbs on a stock L98. If you do some searches though you'll find out we've had members running 10 lbs on 350s before though.

regarding procharger

I just bought a procharger. I went with the P1SC, ordered it from Superchargers 4 Less, was $3200 shipped. Had the option to go with a 9 or 12 pound pulley(went with 9). If you have any modifications to your intake or exhaust it may not make as much boost as claimed(I believe the boost is rated on a totally stock motor)but should be able to make more power. You can change the pulley size to run the blower as fast as you want, but I believe this could void your warranty. Also you would want to make sure you didn't over spin the blower although this shouldn't be a problem. These are some of the things that I have read but I don't have any real experience yet. Hope this helps.
