Procharger I-1

Ok so I went back into the archives a lil bit and didn't find what I wanted to know. I hate making new thread topics if it exists and I didn't see one.

Is anyone rocking one of these systems on their rig yet? Has all the lil bugs been worked out with it being that it's a brand new "thing"? Has anyone came up with a fabricated or billet intake manifold instead of compressing the air into the factory plastic intake manifold? I'm just curious.

P.S.
Do you have to have that god awful looking box that says Procharger over the throttle body?

@Brandon@KHC is running it. pretty sure he even ran it during the snoball run too. his truck bad ass. hopefully he can chime in or maybe even @khcdave can help...

I guess one day I'll find out more about it. Someday.

Why not just run a whipple or roush?

It'd either be the I-1 or the Whipple. Roush isn't an option for me. No trying to start shit either. It's just my opinion. I kinda like the fact that if you blow the belt on the Procharger you should be able to limp the truck to the nearest shop under its own power. If you blow the belt on the Whipple, I don't think the truck will run at all. I could be way off on that idea thinking, but I like survivability. If I start doing runs with the groups, I don't want to be the responsible one for stopping the run because of some as simple as a belt broke and can't continue the run or I'd be blocking the trail or something stupid. That would be embarrassing.

I've looked into the I-1 as well and I think it's also a benefit to be able to adjust the amount of boost in the fly. It allows you to not always running at full power because there are times where you won't always need it. But I have heard it is not the easiest install compared to the whipple or roush and it doesn't make as much power as the whipple for a higher price.

Does the new I-1 run a separate belt? The regular ProCharger is run off of the serpentine drive belt so if it breaks, you are done until you change the below.

I am not sure how similar they are but on this forum it says the whipple will allow you to limp home with a broken belt SC whipple VS paxton on a SGT - Shelby GT, GT-H Modifications and Tech. - Team Shelby post #13

That is a bonus for sure.

That's the thing. I haven't seen a price for it yet either.
