Procharger F1R testing, take 3 - 700rwhp
Would this even be a kit that could be sold in volumes? Seems like a lot of mechanical stress that would be hard to keep reliable on a regular basis. Nothing against you Sal, as you are doing a great job and have designed a nice set-up, but it is strictly race use, and like any race only vehicle reliability is not high or expected as things are pushed to or beyond their limits each run.

We are planning to release a kit, but not quite like what I am running. The "standard" ATI F-150 kit comes with a P1SC blower, which is good for about 500-600 hp. I am running an F1R, which is capable of supporting 1300hp on the right motor. The F1R requires much larger tubing and the race version intercooler, and I had to custom make everything. In between the P1SC and the F1, The D1SC, which is good for about 850 hp. The kit we will sell will use the D1SC, because it bolts in place of the P1SC, and we can still use the smaller ducting which means we can use almost all of the parts in the standard kit, just with a few of our own special parts for the Lightning application. A ported Eaton case will be plenty of airflow as an intake plenum for the D1 setup.

I think the idea is that towards the end of the quarter mile the areodynamics of the lightning kick in and you are basiaclly driving a brick wall downt he track.
With a centrifrigal s/c the faster you spin it the more power it makes. so near the end of the track when we need the power the most, the centrifrigal s/c is making more and more power.
However off the line, you can only have soo much torque and still hook up. with 700 ft/lbs that is plently to get you off to a good start.
remember torque gets you off the line, HP gets you to top MPH.
