For the second year in a row, ProCharger will be displaying at the popular Race & Performance Expo just west of Chicago. Held at the the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL, dates for the 2010 event are March 6 & 7, 8 AM to 5 PM on Saturday and 8 AM to 4 PM on Sunday. Follow this link for more information on the event.

The ProCharger display will be chocked-full of supercharger solutions, both for high-horsepower race-only cars as well as supercharger kits and systems designed for street car use. And yes, the incredible new F-4 ProCharger and ProDrive geardrive will also be on display along with our new optional helical gear (noise reduction) supercharger.

Be sure to stop by the ProCharger display, just inside the main entrance, booth #301.

Nickey Chevrolet - 2010 Camaro SS

Renowned high-performance Chevrolet dealer, Nickey Chicago will also be exhibiting at the Race & Performance Expo and will have a ProCharger supercharged and intercooled 2010 Camaro SS in their display. Known as “the original super car headquarters”, Nickey has jumped back into building high performance 2010 Camaros with ProCharger superchargers being very popular with their customers.

However, with their ProCharged Nickey Camaros proving so popular that they don’t even have one to display, the Camaro that Nickey will show is a fully “Pedderised and ProCharged” Camaro SS that was built for the 2009 SEMA show and then driven in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge by IndyCar racing star, Paul Tracy. Be sure to check out this unique Nickey / Pedders / ProCharged Camaro while at the expo and visit with the folks at Nickey about building one for you.

See you at the Race & Performance Expo!

There’s no denying that Chevrolet has a gold-medal winner in the 2010 Camaro, especially the LS-powered SS models. And when it comes to taking horsepower to Olympian levels of power combined with real-world, everyday driveability, more new Camaro SS owners are turning to ProCharger than any other force induction power adder. Period.

The fact is, ProCharger’s patented and proven, self-contained intercooled supercharger technology is out front and pulling away, both in overall popularity and performance. On the street and on the track, ProCharger-equipped 2010 Camaro SS owners are making some powerful statements.

Fastest 2010 Camaros

The GM High-Tech Performance web site is keeping a scoreboard, tracking and updating top late-model Camaro performers. As of mid-February, a ProCharger-equipped car is at the top of this list. Nitrous, turbos and PD blowers, it doesn’t matter - they are all falling short of the power and performance of Late Model Racecraft’s ProCharger F-1R-equipped Camaro. As we noted in an earlier post, LMR and ProCharger was the first combination to get the new Camaro into the 9’s with a nice 9.98, 144 MPH pass in November 2009.

Check out GM High-Tech’s “Fastest 2010 Chevy Camaro” list here.

David Caine’s 1,000+ HP Camaro SS

With the relative calm before the racing season storm, here’s another high-horsepower, ProCharger-equipped 2010 Camaro SS that will be taking to the track very soon. With his built LS engine and ProCharger F-1C combination making 1,048 hp on the engine dyno, there is no doubt that David Caine’s Camaro will soon be joining the 9 second Camaro club. Check out the March 2010 issue of GM High-Tech Performance for a feature on this car or click here for the online version.

Barnett Harley-Davidson - Supercharging a Harley

One of the largest H-D dealers in the country, Barnett Harley-Davidson, recently ran both an online article,   “Supercharging a Harley”.  Editor and long-time Harley rider, Buck Manning did a very good job of detailing the benefits of a riding a ProCharger-equipped H-D from a true rider’s perspective.

Manning caught up with ProCharger’s Senior Performance Technician, Sergio Shifman, and got the low down on a “one-day hop-up of your Twin Cam to double the stock rear wheel horsepower power with no pesky problems like starter motors that can’t turn over a high-compression engine or excessive heat roasting your chestnuts over an open fire” sounds like a really good idea!

Check out the story by visting the Barnett web site  and be sure to pick up a copy of the March 2010 issue of Barnett’s Magazinefor a feature on a 195 hp ProCharged FBI (Fat Baggers Inc.) custom and a profile on Walt Sipp, ProCharger V-Twin Product Manager.

As soon as the horsepower-hungry staff at Super Chevy magazine received the press release announcing the first-to-market intercooled ProCharger Supercharger Systems for the hot-selling 2010 Camaro SS, they were on the phone to schedule an installation article and a visit to the ProCharger facility.

Kudos to editor Jim Campisano and Associate Editor Patrick Hill for rearranging their schedules to make this story happen in a timely fashion - as a matter of fact, this was the first supercharger installation article to appear in print on the 2010 Camaro SS.

Pick up a copy of the January 2010 issue of Super Chevy magazine or check out the very thorough online version of the article here.

Little did they know that this was also the very same car that would be “transformed” even further prior to it’s public debut at the 2009 SEMA Show. And with a final adjustment to the production-ready tune, this otherwise stock Camaro put down 526 RWHP.

To say that ProCharger’s new F-4 supercharger was the absolute buzz of the 2009 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show is like saying a tornado is a gentle breeze.

Keeping the new supercharger model under wraps until the opening morning of the show, it didn’t take long for word to spread like wildfire throughout the show. Text messages, cell phone calls and cell phone images of the new, ulta-high HP-capable F-4 kept the ProCharger display packed with power-hungry racers and engine builders. 

The new ProCharger F-4 supercharger features the performance and racing industry’s first application of a 16-inch diameter volute, or compressor housing. Utilizing ProCharger’s patented and proven self-contained transmission, as well as the patented high-speed compound bearing assembly the new F-4 model is rated at 3,200+ horsepower while providing 5,400 CFM maximum airflow and 45 PSI maximum boost.

“Obviously, the F-4 model represents the next level of centrifugal supercharger performance and horsepower potential,” notes Jim Summers, ProCharger Motorsports Director. “We are looking forward to working with some of the top engine builders and racers in the industry to see the F-4’s true performance potential realized on the track and in other motorsports applications.”

ProDrive Supercharger Gear Drive

Designed specifically for the new F-4 supercharger, the ProDrive supercharger gear drive will allow racers to locate F-4 and F-3 supercharger models in front of and above the centerline of the engine’s crank shaft.

Both the new F-4 ProCharger and ProDrive Gear Drive are available for order now with delivery in Spring 2010.

More New Race Products

In addition to the 11 new products that were displayed at the SEMA show, ProCharger had three more to debut at PRI: the F-4, ProDrive Gear Drive and a 3V Reverse Cog Race Kit.

Mustang 3V Reverse Cog Race Kit

Realizing the performance potential of modified Ford 3V engines, ProCharger is once again leading the way with a Reverse Cog Race Kit designed specifically for 2005-2010 Mustang GTs or other race vehicles running the high-tech 3V engine.

Utilizing a dedicated, 50mm-wide cog drive and tensioner system, the heavy-duty bracket provides a solid, stable, forward-facing mounting location for a wide range of ProCharger supercharger models, including the F-1 thru F-2 self-contained superchargers.

The new 3V Reverse Cog Race Kit, along with the previously-announced 3V Cog Race Kit will be available in the spring of 2010. Give ProCharger at call at 913/338-2886 if you’d like to receive additional information.

New ProCharger F-1D supercharger

Show for the first time at SEMA, the new F-1D self-contained supercharger model was also on display for the power-hungry racers. Designed as more streetable F-Series supercharger, the F-1D provides better boost response in high horsepower street applications than the more competition oriented F-1C and F-1R models.

Rated at 1,000 hp, the F-1D utilizes a 9-inch volute, self-contained F-Series transmission, 5.40:1 step-up ratio and provides 1,500 CFM of airflow at 38 PSI max and a maximum impeller speed of 65,000 RPM.

With the “pony car wars” heating up on the street, it was just a matter of time until street-driven 2010 SS Camaros started turning heads with ProCharger-enhanced 1/4-mile times.

Built by Late Model Racecraft and displayed at the 2009 SEMA Show, the automatic-equipped car was strapped to a dyno before the drag strip runs, where it put down an amazing 914 horsepower and 761 ft-lbs of torque to the rear tires while running 16lbs of boost. Figuring a conservative 15% drivetrain loss through the automatic trans, the F-1R ProCharged and air-to-air intercooled 427 cid LSX engine made over 1,050 horsepower and 875 torque at the crank.

On the track, this combination powered the heavy Camaro to a 9.98 quarter mile pass, making it the first 2010 Camaro SS to get into the 9’s!

Congrats to David Brooks and the crew at Late Model Racecraft on being the first to achieve this outstanding performance milestone! Click here for more information and to see the video of this awesome pass.

Like their four-wheeled brothers-in-speed, Harley-Davidson V-twin hot rodders have discovered that ProCharger-equipped motorcycles make outstanding two-wheeled land speed record assailants.

In 2009, several motorcycle racers turned to ProCharger intercooled supercharger systems for giving their big V-twin engines the extra power they need to push these massive motorcycles to incredible speeds - far more than they could have every attained without a forced-induction solution.

Dave Boozie built an essentially “naked” bike for owner Eric Ross to take to the Bonneville Salt Flat time trial events.

Using a intercooled ProCharger supercharger to add even more power to the 116-cid V-twin, this bike has set the class A-PBG 2000 cc record at a very respectable 151.454 mph. Both the builder and the owner will be looking to push the record even higher at the next event. 

Baggers at Bonneville

With more than 30 years experience in high performance Harley-Davidson modifications and racing, TR Reiser is generally considered the first to achieve 200+ HP from a Harley-Davidson engine running on standard octane gasoline. However, in 2009, TR also discovered what ProCharger supercharger technology can add to his quest for more power and speed.

Running a relatively small (by land speed standards) 98-cid engine, the ProCharger-equipped bike makes an incredible 194 rwhp! On the Bonneville’s infamous Salt Flats, TR set the 1650-MPS-PBG record at 157.49 mph, which is only 10 mph off the overall “World’s Fastest Bagger” record.

It should be noted, that unlike most of the baggers that run at Bonneville, TR’s bike still runs the fork-mounted fairing instead of the more aerodynamic and speed-desirable frame-mounted fairing. Check out TR’s web site here.

Maxton Mile Record Shattered by ProCharged Bike, too.

A ProCharger intercooled supercharger system also helped another racer absolutely smash an East Coast Timing Association (ECST) record at a Maxton Mile event. Bradley Everhart rode his ProCharged bike on an incredible 194 mph pass, setting a new record in the 2,000 CC Blown / Gas Altered, Partial Streamliner class.

But Everhart and his South Welcome Racing team weren’t satisfied. At the October race, they took the record on up to an incredible 198.914 mph, shattering the previous record by more than 32 mph on their 120-cid, ProCharged V-twin! This bike has made as much as 246 rwhp during chassis setup and tuning.

Congratulations to these and other motorcycle racers who have discovered the performance advantages of an intercooled ProCharger supercharger system on their land speed V-twin rockets.
