Supercharging the Boss

[J.Shoot]

I have a D1 on my Boss and have really enjoyed it. My quickest 1/4 is 10.5 @ 131 mph, I ran a 10.53 and 10.57 the same night. I drive the car on the street so I like the way the D1 performs on the street. I like the standard transmission also. I know an auto would be alot faster at the track, just not sure if I would want to do that or not. I feel quite sure I will be faced with that decision this year. We (TS) rebuilt the bottom end and are doing a few minor details to the car now. Ready to get it rolling and back in my garage.
Good luck on your project.

Thanks for your input. I've seen your car on another Forum and have been wanting to ask you about it. 10.5's are great numbers for sure. I've really been enjoying the research on the blowers. Right now I'm leaning to Roush (Shaun @AED really likes the PD better and I really like his tunes). But I'm also intrigued with the Centri's. I know how my car is off the line and the power band of the centri's is appealing. Anyway, I guess it's not unusual to to get confused over this stuff!!

I did alot of research before we decided to go with the Procharger. I called shops, looked at forums, read articles. All of the systems have advantages and disadvantages. I guess the biggest reason we went with the centri was for ability to drive on the street. I think you can make all of them fast, it just takes the right combination. I have a race coming up in the near future with a guy running a PD blower. (he's a little more hp and torque than I am). I'll let you know how it turns out.

Holler at me if you want any info about what I have done to our Boss..

I talked to Shaun also before we did any work to our Boss. He doesn't like the centri's at all. lol.......

Good luck.

Just curious, why did you choose the procharger over the paxton/vortech?

I like the idea of the unit located to the side and running on its own belt. Also the installation required less modification for the ProCharger vs. the others, (just my understanding.)

I was exactly the same way as you. Procharger with little trimming and a a stand alone drive belt. My only recommendation in hindsight would be do the tuner kit, get the D1SC, & get a larger set of injectors to leave room for expansion.

You need a BAP? And what size injectors? I want to do exhaust and a D1 as only mods beside a 3500 convertor and suspension stuff.

So, did Shaun relent and tune it?


It doesn't take long to get to 3-4K . When/Where, do feel the boost kick in?

thanks.

No Shaun didn't tune it. True Street does "all" of my work. I've been really happy with everything they've done.
You really feel the car come to life around 3500.

True Street has a great reputation for sure. I've been driving my car in the cold the past few days just to tell myself that I don't need anymore power. You know, like tacking up to 7800+ and shifting quick….

It ain't working….. I need more….

Most of the guys that I know personally, who tune, install, etc. seem to be wanting me to get a Roush Kit.

I really appreciate all the input here. Great stuff to research and ponder.

You can't go wrong either way, it will be loads of fun.

Good luck.
