What did the ProCharger Team say when you called them about this issue?
Nothing really. They said the datalog I gave them looked fine. I guess I expected more power, it def pulls hard up top but like I said it wasn’t all that impressed.

That's honestly just the nature of a stick car with a centri blower. For stick cars I will always say a PD style blower is much better suited and fun to drive.

Check the bypass valve for correct operation, check for boost leaks, get a real tune. The blower will make power, just have to track down any issues you may have.

Great first post tho. Kinda trollish but hey I'm down to help folks out, real issues or not.
I agree 100%

Id verify its making 8psi..

Im gonna be honest with you though. My 850rwhp whipple car was downright FAST. but it didn't feel as fast as my 700rwhp 13 GT500. these S550's are really refined.

Have to agree big time. They're so smooth. no violent shit making you think it's making 3,000. Just look down and a blip from 50-130 happens real quick.

couple of things stick out -bama tune, immediate blame on parts before anything wrong has been determined.. your in California take you car to shawn at Aed ,when he's done with your car you will see that the only thing to blame is you. I hope you write a retraction when it gets fixed....

Also need to understand the powerband of your centrifugal blower and adjust your expectations. If you want the "instant hit" as soon as you hit the gas, a pd blower on a stick car is the way to go.

View attachment 351422 I just installed a CARB legal P-1SC kit on my 2017 GT PP mustang and it sucks! I haven't verified the boost pressure, but according to procharger this kit should produce around 8 psi. Below 3500 RPMs the car feels slower then stock and mildly faster above 3500. I had a BAMA race tune with a CAI intake on it before I installed the kit so i'm assuming it had around 400 whp. Throttle response felt great and I could spin my 305 Nitto's in third in the right power band. I'm guessing this kits maybe makes 500 whp. I was under the impression slapping this kit would dramatically improve the acceleration but was sadly mistaken. Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone know if a custom tune will improve the whp without adding addition components ?
Typical proleaker crap tune. Go custom or you gonna hate your stage 1

Paddle on left side of steering wheel adds a ton of instant hit on my procharger setup.
