“We
get our hands on one of the first ProCharger ’05 Mustang
kits and the results are awesome.” “It’s not often
you see a 200 plus horsepower gain on a stock vehicle.”

“With
17 psi of boost and a new clutch, the LX* blasted the
quarter-mile in an amazing 11.70 seconds at over 116 mph!
Before the end of the day, Craig made four 11-second runs.”
* Stock 5.0 with exhaust, pump gas, P600B, 2 core intercooler

| “This
is the fastest street car I have ever driven. It just
plants you to the seat... With the same 14 psi
of boost as the modified factory supercharger [Eaton roots
model], the... ProCharger blower [P-1SC-2] had increased
118 hp... at the rear tires! The boost level was then
set at 19 psi… and this put the final numbers at an insane
646.9 rwhp. Maximum torque reading at the tires was 541.7
lb-ft [an improvement of 184 rwhp and 47.8 lb/ft at the
tires, simply by switching superchargers]."

| "Jose
Cardenas built himself a most-wanted supercharged V-6
Mustang... He hit the bull's-eye, nailing 305.9
horses at the wheels, and 308.1 lb-ft at 5,400 RPM."

| "Crowning
America's Baddest '05 Mustang. Nine competitors hit the
tarmac for the 1st Annual Nitto /MM&FF '05 Mustang
Shootout. The Overall Winner with best ET/MPH:
10.50 at 132.50 MPH is JPC Racing, driver Justin Burcham
via a ProCharger D-1SC blower..."
|
| “ATI‘s
new line of self-contained superchargers looked inviting
to us, and why not? The P-1SC specs read like a veritable
performance recipe for any new blower... Throw
in a three-year warranty, a self contained oiling system,
and an emissions legal, gear-driven design and you have
a winner on your hands. The P-1SC‘s 70-80 percent
horsepower increase is exactly what our 3g GT project
needed to help achieve our 1g of acceleration. Being emissions
legal and easy to install were definite plusses in ATI‘s
favor as well. The final selling point was integral intercooling.”

| “A
bigger ProCharger blower and a week's worth of testing
was all Don Walsh, Jr. of D & D Performance needed to
run 6.43 at 216. That kind of performance netted
him the honor of being the quickest and fastest centrifugally
blown Pro car."

| “Those
guys are on the ball. They are always looking for more
power—just like a racer—and that’s a great relationship.
It’s a match made in heaven... After about four
or five sets of pistons, I started thinking, Is there
a better way? It was a tough choice for Doug, He had long
been loyal to his nitrous sponsor, but to switch from
nitrous to a supercharger might just be the way to go”
|
| “They
introduced a 17 psi kit that put stock Mustangs in the
11‘s, and received CARB approval for their intercooled
14 psi system. Not one to rest on its laurels, ATI now
offers their new P-1 and D-1SC self-contained superchargers...
Self contained means that there are no oil lines to the
pan and generally installation is cleaner. In
addition, ATI offers the advantage of intercooling to
provide even greater horsepower gains. By keeping
the air cooler, more timing and/or boost can be used without
the worry of detonation.”

| “Running
the motor on a chassis dyno is not the same as running
it on the street or through the quarter-mile at a local
strip... An air-to-air intercooler relies on
a steady (and large) supply of airflow across the core
to extract the heat... If you have a hard time grasping
how much airflow is present, try sticking your hand out
the window at even 30 mph and feel how much pressure (and
volume) is present. Now imagine the resulting flow at
100 mph... The problem with testing an air-to-air intercooled
motor on a chassis dyno is the relative lack of airflow.
Even the most aggressive fans do not come close to supplying
the air source seen by the intercooler core while driving...
An option [during chassis dyno testing] is to cool the
entire inlet system including the intercooler down and
run... a mist of water to artificially increase the effectiveness
of the intercooler. The important fact to remember
is to duplicate the change in charge temperature [across
the intercooler core] witnessed on the street... while
on the dyno. Otherwise the dyno result will be
suspect [dyno result will be lower than true power during
street/strip usage].”
