Default Question on procharging

I'm gonna be selling my motorcycle and pretty sure I'm gonna procharge my stang. Is there any concerns in using the procharger kit? Anyone have this kit and have any input on it?

I've been running the ProCharger on my V6 for a few months now. It was a little shaky at first working out some of the issues I ran into. I had some alignment issues that they were able to correct but it took some work. I think it's all corrected now.

A couple considerations you might want to factor in.

One, the ProCharger email tune is simply a stepping stone until you get it dyno tuned. It really is a very conservative tune. I can tell it is pulled back quite a bit on timing. I can run high 12 second quarter miles but my trap speed is consistently around 108 mph with racing slicks and hitting 1.8-1.9 second 60' times. Cars that have been dyno tuned are trapping @ around 113-115 mph and in the 12.5 second 1/4 mile times running worse 60' times. The good news is they're not sending out wreckless tunes. The last thing they want to do is send you a tune that will blow your motor.

Two, factor in a clutch, flywheel and after market driveshaft right off the bat. Given the issues we've seen on broken stock driveshafts with simply tunes and CAI's I wouldn't think of making one hard run on the stock unit. Way too much of a risk.

Other than that I would say it's an incredible setup. The car is insane. I go in for a tune and have a couple things up my sleeve they'll be installing and testing on the dyno in a couple weeks and hope to be in the 470-480 rwhp range when it's all said and done.

What mods do you have besides the procharger setup? So the tune they send is just something to get the car going with a little boost. I was gonna have a shop here fine tune my car after everything was installed but now I have to consider a better clutch and driveshaft

As far as engine mods nothing more done. To help with the power from the SC kit I've added the air filter, x-pipe, Borla Atak catback and aluminum driveshaft, UCA and LCA's. I don't have the clutch yet but it's only a matter of time.

There tune is a real tune like any other tune it's just super conservative with the timing and fuel curves. It doesn't have anything to do with the boost level, that's set by pulley size.

The clutch you can probably wait on. Just know that it's not rated to handle the tq you're going to be picking up with the kit. I've driven on it for 3 mnths and done probably 30+ runs at the track. Half of them on drag radials. It's holding up fine at this point, knock on wood, but it will eventually need to be addressed.

I don't kno if your dead set on supercharging but if it's gonna be a couple months, I believe hellion is in the process of making a turbo kit for our 3.7s and expect some good numbers, even if youre set on the procharger, some competition might push the price down lower

I'm pretty much set on procharging because I have BBK longtubes and x-pipe and wouldn't wanna take em off and waste the money I spent on them to put the turbo on.
