go with the D-1 or the D-1SC

dont go with the P600 units, you'll most likely want more power later on and with the P600 units its not worth the time. just get a D-1 or D-1SC and buy a smaller pulley for it.

get the D3R if you want to run really fast...but then you will need a solid engine, tranny and rear end too

The difference in the D1 and D1SC is that the D1 uses engine oil for lube and the D1SC is sealed with it's own oil. The D1 and D1SC also have different internal stepup ratios. I think that 89ProchargedROC meant to say a larger blower pulley or a smaller crank pulley. This would lower your boost to the level of the P600 or wherever you like. I also would get the D series over the P600 or the new sealed version of it.

It really depends on what your looking for in power, but once you get a taste of the power you'll want more!!!

So i just had this same decision to make, i opted for the D1sc (sc = self contained), that way i didn't have to punch a hole in my oil pan, also if something breaks in the engine it won't hurt the blower, or visa versa...

Check out my website for pics of the installation and a video of the car running when done

later
