Holy Huge Supercharger - Procharger's 3200HP+ capable F4
When I came over to the Procharger booth first thing Thursday morning, I thought this was some kind of cruel joke. A supercharger the size of a trash can attached to the front of a big block Chevy, and it is nearly half the size of the engine itself. This is the new Procharger F4 supercharger and it even requires a minimum of 900 naturally aspirated horsepower to make it work.

This blower is a gear drive only type system that is designed to make 3200+ horsepower, 45 psi, and flow over a hurricane-like 5400 cfm. The gear drive system on this blower is the same unit you will find on the F3. This is a limited production piece (obviously) and is designed for extreme drag racing. We heard that this blower was going to be tested soon, but no name was released. The one hint we had was ā€œA previous NMCA Pro Street Championā€, which immediately leads us to think Mark Mickie.

You can barely see the engine behind the blower!!

"It's hard to believe that engine builders and racers are looking for even higher power levels and increased blower efficiencies than the F-3 models already deliver," says Jim Summers, Motorsports Director at ProCharger. "The F-3 has proven capable of 2,000 horsepower on pump gas and 3,000 horsepower on an engine specifically designed for use with a supercharger and running alcohol fuels."

Make sure your cat isnā€™t walking buy when you fire it for the first time, it might just suck it in.

Yea, for an EFI motor like that, you wouldn't want to run 500lb/hr injectors at idle, you would do best to idle on something small (like 1/10 of the size) and then open the big ones when the demand raises. I'm actually doing something similar with an SRT4, with stage 1 injectors in the stock manifold ports, and then 650ccs in another rail and second set of ports that will only open when the stock MAP is clamped. I'm then using the standalone to control the coil, second set of injectors, and boost only, while the stock ECU is still handling fans, voltage, primary injectors, and gauge cluster. Stock-like drivability up to 2 BAR, and then supplementary fuel above that to around 30psi of boost.
