    Anyone using a Procharger.......

    ......or know anyone that is? I am looking into this as a possible FI for my Lincoln (of course after the stroker motor is built), and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I was looking at the P-1SC system and then upgrading to the D-1SC.

    From what I've seen and read, ALOT of guys running the P-1SC have enourmous problems with them leaking oil. For that reason alone, I would go with the D-1SC which does not seem to be prone to oil leakage.

    Were a dealer for procharger and we do our best to push people away from them. The P1 is a problem prone blower with internal oil leaks from being self contained and total blower failure when the blower is spun close to it's max speed. I'd go with a Vortech or a Paxton blower and you be happy for many years to come! You can start out with an S trim and upgrade to a T trim later on down the road.

    Figures, I was trying to go a different route than what most of the Mark VIII guys were going. Most of the aftermarket blowers being utilized by the Mark VIII crowd are the Vortech units.

    I read somewhere (MM&FF I think) they laid down 800HP on a Mustang (do not remember if it was a Cobra or not) with a D-1SC. I did not want to utilize the P-1SC, but the D-1SC. Is there much of a difference or are they both prone to the leakage problem?

    The D1- seems to have alot less oil seal failure. They must upgrade something inside that makes them better. The only down side is their still prone to total failure when pulleyed down and pushed close to it's max blower speed. With a D1 a relistic goal would be about 600rwhp max (depening on other mods)out of a 4v engine.

    If you want to be different I'd go with a good turbo kit like a Proturbo kit. We installed one on a 04 mach 1 with an AOD tranny and a 6,000 stall with a non locking converter making 800hp to the rear tires. The car is stupid fast and really quite.

    That is what I was originally looking to do....but do it mostly myself. I heard timing and setting it up is a biatch. Plus there is NO room under the hood of my car to do much of anything......my 2 biggest problems. I am still contemplating twin turbos though.

    I was thinking that too, but will not net me what I was kinda looking for actually. I am not ruling it out, but will rule it out if I can figure out a way to route the pipes under/around the engine compartment. I am going to wait til the weather breaks before I start figuring.....plus that will help me with the expendable cash as well to start ordering parts if I get that far.......

    My procharger is for sale if interested. Since the rebuild it has been working fine and it still has alomost 2 years left on the warranty. If interested PM me, the price will be right.
