F1A Procharger

[fastmach01]

I have a built Mach1 with 9.5.1 compresson, comp stage 3 cams, I am looking to get a F1A with cog pulleys soon and i was wondering what boost i should run to put me around 700whp. Thanks for any input

20 psi but its going to be tough to do safely on pump gas unless you have e85

 

[vadorsnake04]

i made over 700 on 18psi on 93 octane.

Also, didn't you switch over from a 8 rib F1A setup last year?

Vador your car makes a lot of power for the set up lol I don't think ive ever seen over 700 on 18 psi from anything except turbos

Lol, we'll that's a good point. My heads must flow good. Idk. But, can't wait to see how it does with real boost.

I hear ya I'm also anxious to get back on the dyno, hopefully ill be 690s on 93

Call me crazy, but at 1 point didn't that car have a F1A??

I'm pretty sure you arnt crazy... I was a little confused at first too but then again nothing surprises me around here any more so I just roll with it

Looks like OP sold the F1 in february.

Guess he didnt like the twin screw haha

And you will need 18-20 psi to get to your goal and a fuel system to support it.

thats what i was saying earlier lol. Nothing wrong with that, i may have changed a few setups over the past few year lmao. as has 1quick10th!

I got a buddy out here building an F1 system. Not too sure what levels of boost he's at but he put down nearly 600 and was just tickling the blowers potential. Those things are badass.

Yeah you two have changed a lot haha.

And you both seem happy with the F1A's

Just out of curiosity y did you go with a F1A instead of a ysi or X trim?

I like procharger better, and the x wasn't available when I bought mine.

 

[dwtjr3]

Simple enough,

Whats the reason you like procharger better? I am just curious because I am considering going procharger instead of vortech when I upgrade blowers.

 

[1QUICK10TH]

I for one like the self contained lubrication of the procharger. I went with the f1a because of opportunity though.

 

[dwtjr3]

Opportunity for power or you got a good deal on it?

 

[vadorsnake04]

I like the self lubrication better also. Also, I don't think I would gain much with the x over the a.

More like an opportunity that was on the table to try something new, traded my 3.4 for it

Plus it's unique. I can count on one hand how many times I've seen a procharged 03/04 cobra in person.
