Any way to make the ProChargers last longer between breakages? They sure do seem to fail a LOT.

[@funfun8095]

Vortech, screw blower, turbos, and not buy a Procharger. I've said it a lot. The busiest department in this country, is the Procharger repair department. They've been blowing up and breaking, left and right, since they first came out.

[@jasonwehrling738]

What if you put in a Steve Morris SMX?

[@funfun8095]

That would just break. Even Steve can't make it one race event without breaking something. Not one of his SMXs made it through drag week or won sick week or sick summer. I wouldn't pay 125k for an engine that doesn't last and you can only get parts from one source. Noonan Hemi would be better or even a Noonan LS.

@@dakotaautosales9673 No one wins them all, but when you say you build the greatest drag and drive engines, it would be good to show they are. He doesn't. All you have to do is research the people that have bought his SMX and SML engines and see how they got screwed. Too many people are brain washed by his YT channel. There are a lot more, better, engine builders than him, out there. Namely Ace Race engines, who's LS beat all of Steve's engines at sick week, one year. I guarantee you won't see the truth about the Cowboy Up Nova's SML either. Jason got screwed, just like Matt Frost and a lot of other people.

I know you probably know this already, but I do think that BTR does have the flow data on their manifolds, so I am guessing that other manufacturers have the same data. Or you could always buy a few and flow them to get the real #'s then keep the best and return the rest.

[@pontiac411]

What oil did you switch to?

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

Depending on how much pressure u put in the motor by using nitrous and even adding a pro charger or turbos. I seen motors go KABOOM. One racee used so much nitrous his motor generated to pieces and it blew half of the front end of the car to piece's. Lucky the flagger realized something was wrong and he flagged me to go and I did and BOOM. The racee was purging so much nitrous in the engine. When he was trying to build boost. That's when it exploded.

[@finnroen2334]

Bergen StreetRacing Team have developed an very simple trick to figure out how good the NA engine is working when boosted It goes like this: You take the horsepower increase pr. psi of boost and multiply it by 15." :) :D Reversed it is: 551 whp / 15 = you can expect 36,7 hp increase pr. psi of boost. :)

[@chrishouston1406]

Glad to see a racer care about their respiratory health by wearing a mask like racers from the early years using exotic fuels.

[@TunnelVisonMotorsports-o5z]

Made 552 n/a at 1 atm at sea level? Does that mean you need +38 psi, or 3.7 atm, to make 1400? Just trying make sense of the numbers lol. Have you ever experimented with rotating the throttle body, at the intake flange, in small increments to see how it affects air distribution? Keep rolling.......
