OP..It may be worth identifying which Procharger you are looking at. P1 vs. the 2.9 Whipple is no contest for Whipple in power potential. D1 is more on the 2.9s level. In general, my IATs are much better with the Whipple than the D1 and Paxton buddies I race with. and I mean by 30ish degrees during WOT. I haven't seen a "Heat Soak" issue that those guys haven't also dealt with. There is a ton of heat trapped in these engine bays and it doesn't matter which setup you have, it's an issue. Now it's not exactly Apples to Apples as I have a trunk mounted water tank but do NOT run ice (not sure how much this helped IATs, I did it to use the CJ intake). I also have a cobrajet intake which definitely helped moving the filter out of the engine bay.
My point was to say that "heat soak" is not the issue with PDs that some may lead you to believe. It's an "issue" for everyone and anyone that races does things to mitigate that heat the best you can.
Personally, now that I've run a D1 and the Whipple, I would always go Whipple, or if I wanted extreme power, go Turbo. My car pulls from 3500 until 8k and damn hard too. People have a tendency to think PDs only have power down low but MPH speaks for itself. I can run 136mph in the 1/4 on 93 octane only when some Centris on E85 have trouble getting there.
You will have a blast in a blown Coyote either damn way. Just don't make a decision based on "heat soak"
