We are seeing the fuel pressure drop above 6000 rpm. So we stopped going up in boost. If the customer decides to go with a fuel system we'll keep going.

So the point is that 17 psi/ 660 RWHP is nothing for a 6 rib drive plus the flip drive. Pulley sizes are stock crank damper and 4" blower pulley. So we haven't found the limit yet...

I thought some might be interested in the results we have gotten. Lots have asked what is the limit for a 6 rib setup plus the flip drive? I can still say for now that I don't know.

I have attached a picture of the dyno sheet to show the boost levels verse RPM.

Enjoy,

MAX,
I need to speak with you about my set-up and this is the thread I need to see for my set-up!

My D1SC and 3.2" is having a couple of issues - (They say belt slip ).

Is there anyway I can speak with you over the weekend?

Thanks,Matt 661-406-7516

The question isn't psi or rwhp on a dyno, it's reliability at the drag strip.

Give me a stick car with a ProCharger and I'll find a way to get that belt to walk..

Can the belt be removed for say a longer trip or if you didn't want to run the blower on a road coarse ?

Nothing is 100%, but I know that a car with a flip drive will fair many times better than one without.

Try a stick shift car with a procharger and a flip drive setup with HPE brackets and see if you can make it slip

Yes, but only if you have an electric water pump. Otherwise, no.

Hey Max,
Quick question buddy

Which bracket did the customer have for D1SC Procharger on this test?

Was it you guys Procharger Bracket or the Latest A&A one! I really still like the one you guys offer, that thing is BEEF!

Thanks,Matt

Thank you very much

I am happy to hear you are enjoying the new setup, I knew you would. Now all you need is a forged bottom end so you can really crank up the boost. Keep chasing that dragon, maybe you can catch him for me... because I keep trying but I can never get him.

I am not up that way often, but maybe I will make a small trip of it one day. I just remember that pizza you brought down one night. Sooooo good.

Talk to you soon.
Max

Neither, it was the standard Procharger version.

Thanks!

WOW! That just proves how AWESOME the Flip-Drive is indeed - and the best set-up for Centrifugal Blowers all the way!

Thanks,Matt
