Default Pro and cons of a PROCHARGER

Anyone had great results of applying a procharger? I've heard of some working and most not worth the extra $$$.

when i originally installed a procharger i took my boat ( a502 mag,272 baja)from being a 62 mph boat to a 78 mph boat. There are not many mods that will give you 16 real mph other than more cubic inches,Smitty

If you are interested, ProCharger is running a sale until October 30. Call 614-545-2628, most often supercharger is installed for less than the MSRP.

They sound like a box of marbles rolling around under the hood

The ones that I have seen are amazing the performance that you can ESPECIALLY when combined with the super chiller.

Set up is key!!!!! If the fuel delivery and carb is not set up right you will have problems.

I feel the procharger or vortech is easier on the bravo drive then the whipple. Whipple has full boost when throttle is open at any rpm. Procharger builds boost as RPM goes up thus does not have the torque that the whipple has. Procharger has good products but there tech support has sucked in the past. Better to get tech support from here on OSO. When I was looking I went with the procharger because I was afraid of having to go efi with the package I was looking for to get it to fit under the engine cover. The Procharger M4 package had carbs and was priced way cheaper. Tomcat has done some tests with his suppercooler & gotten some impressive HP numbers

Procharger, I have not used procharger however, I have used Plenty of Vortech chargers. Let me clear something up for you. A supercharger does not no anything other than to spin and move air. Some create more psi such as a centrifical (Vortech) charger. Some just move air from the top to the bottom.(roots) You here a lot of bad things about certian chargers because some guys installing do not no more about a supercharger and the way they should be set up then what the directions say. Some manufactureres directions are not the best way to go about supercharging. Such as just increasing fuel psi vs remapping the computer etc. Yes a centrifical will create less torque down low, because they are not spooled up like a turbo yet. If going with a procharger I would suggest consulting a professional about the proper way to set it up so you have no major problems.
