That car should scream. I would check with Procharger and see what they suggest. I agree with you that he doesn't need a huge supercharger. With an intercooler he doesn't need to slow down a larger supercharger to be efficient. 10lbs of boost should be VERY easy. Now keeping it in the 10's may be an issue, but, nothing more cage can't fix.

 

A friend had a 12-71 on a BB in a sort of street 34 Ford. So there really is no such thing as too big a blower. Would it have run just as good with a much smaller blower I am sure but it looked really trick.

 

Maybe even look at a Y trim Vortech. Not huge but can produce I think almost 30 pounds of boost. I am noticing more and more guys leaving the intercooler off the cars and running meth kits. The meth seems to work great.
I am not familiar with the F1R procharger. From what I can tell they run from 20-45 psi. If the F1R is the charger I believe I have seen then it is huge and more than he will need. IMO.

 

That F1R is good for 1300 HP. Kinda big for his goals. I built a fairly mild 406 with a D1SC that makes 700 rwhp on 14 psi of boost and no intercooler. I think the D1SC easily meets your power goals, plus the smaller diameter fits a bit easier.

I've sent several people to Frank at http://www.gpsuperstore.com for very good pricing on the Prochargers.

Thanks guys,

Other then expense and size are there any performance down sides to the F-1R on this combo?

 

Eric im also very interested in this. I have been concidering a D1SC procharger and intercooler in a few years when i freshen my motor.....

 

The F series have a step up and run bigger blower pulleys then D series for the same level of boost. Because of the larger pulley there is less belt slip problems. There would be no problem running the F1R at 10LBS, but it is really quite over kill. The cost difference is substaintial, and the F1R is LOUD.

Even if if your friend had dreams of stepping up horsepower someday, with 383 inches, the D1SC, as Jody explained, will be fine to 800-900HP.

If it were my recomendation, I would look at the D1SC

 

Thanks Frank. That's pretty much what I've been telling him, but I just don't have the experience with these blowers to be able to explain exactly why.

 

not to hi jack post but im lookin into running a blower also soooo which size would you say has enuff potential for making 700-800 flywheel hp . also ive seen diff types of gears/angles inside blowers to adjust top end low end power or torque which is better and which do you recommend?

 

I just looked at my post from last night, at 11 oclock, after another 14 hour day in a row, during the SEMA thrash and see I mis quoted a bit. The D1SC is a 700HP to 800HP blower. Your really spinning the crap out of it to make more then that. All Procharger are speced out for each specific application, they will choose all internals and pulleys.
