Pro Line Racing ProCharger Hemi Overview

[@4406bbldb]

Feel good video for me. In the60s and 70s I worked in performance development at Chrysler and heard a lot of my lab days from you. Funny we used 671 or 871. Lots of us drove hot rods to work.

are rhese guy's more expensive than Fulton, or sonnys,

[@brentiaconelli6484]

@@anthonyjennings8108 they are totally different beasts... Sonnys specialty is n/a... Proline is boost. But yes proline is double the cost of the others after you add all the induction and electronics... And more than double the hp too

[@xkobeplayz5396]

@Paul Wilson proline prices around that bad when u think about it. 80k for 5300hp isnt bad

[@dl7694]

@@xkobeplayz5396 agreed, in the long run its cheaper than constantly blowing up nitrous engines. I have had slight problem with the bottle so I don't judge.

[@brianmathew09]

as a crewmen for 15 years from top sportsman to ProMod i can promise that you don't need to spend 120k for a bullet to compete.; especially in an 1/8 world...2500 hp is obtainable in many ways these days. the big HP #s are nice to brag on but it really comes down to the converter and application/tuning/longevity .. you can go 4.0 @ 185..or 4.0 @ 200..we do a small alky turbo motor ,450+ ci , that goes 196 mph in the 3's, for 1/3 the cost... just look at what Chuck can do with his small engine on the StreetOutlaw show.

[@The_Professor814]

@Paul Wilson doesn't matter how much horse power your motor makes if it doesn't get through everything to lay the power down properly

[@The_Professor814]

@Paul Wilson evidently you can't comprehend a comment that has nothing to do with how their motors run lmao. everyone knows they're at the moment probably the best in the business but that has nothing to do with what i said or the comment i replied to but since you keep up with so much what do you race?

[@carguy4v2222]

brianmathew09 thanks Brian I just ran across you reply. It's using the right tool for the job that day at the track!! In other words using your head instead of your pocket book,the laptop is a powerful tool now!!!!!

[@keefespencer1173]

Steve Morris came out with a water jacketed 481X that is nick named the SMX this year that Tom Bailey took out for a test drive during 2019 Drag Week and he ran a Drag Week best of a 5.86 @ 253mph and to me that's an accomplishment all in itself because Tom Bailey ran that on the last day of Drag Week so after going over 1000 miles and going 6s at 5 different tracks during the week he ran his PB and set a Drag Week record I'm not trying to take anything away from Proline but there is engine builders putting together engines that are just as capable if not more capable of making the same amount or more HP than a Proline built Hemi for less money but I do like the fact that Proline will sell you the whole package from the engine to the ECU to the turbos to go with it all for close to $100k

[@dmeemd7787]

I will always be the biggest fan of big roots and especially screw blowers coming out of the hood but I must say that the performance of prochargers and where it is now, I plan on seeing less it wasn't bad because of how badass prochargers have become and all the different gearing options, etc. where you can definitely put out a massive amount of air! These things are going to be dominating everything and are already starting to, so even with my preferential bias roots and screw blowers, these Pro Chargers are EFFING-BAD-ASS!

[@daytona3927]

Kudos to Allen Johnson Engineering for this sweet piece.

[@waynethomas1726]

I like how you use BME rods virtually exclusively. I've been running Bill's rods since I started building your routine 500" Iron block mopar stroker. I've gone 6 YEARS on a set of rods once without changing the bearings! LOL The one thing I've found, I've had TERRIBLE luck in that combination retorquing rods. EVERY time I've done that I've kicked the rods out in short order. I suspect it's because the rods are so big and the space is so small given the low pan rail you can't get a stretch gauge in there. I'll keep using bills stuff unless I learn a secret, I'll use em once and hang em on the wall or give em to kids at the track. GREAT vid! Your stuff is WAY too expensive for me but it's clearly awesome! I'm starting another 500 stroker motor with a blower now. It'll be my very first forced induction build.

[@dmeemd7787]

Bill Miller has an AMAZING hand in lots of stuff, hel lm he helps the b only own fuel bikes, too. Guy is BRILLIANT and talk about badass rods, geezus.. 😁🤘🏻

[@dmeemd7787]

I remember helping alcohol funny car team once that was just getting started and they were changing rod bearings and treating in the bottom in like it was a fuel car... well the rods a d the rod caps in the bolts weren't all cold like they would be with the fuel car, they were interchanging hot and cold parts and they wondered why they snapping rod bolts, etc. LoL.. I'll leave the details out on which parts they were mixing up but I'm sure you can figure it out since the rods were staying in the car 😂

[@shifttube1283]

see you can buy all these part from somewhere off there shelf so i know its the people that come to the track and set these cars up for the rich people that buy them its not really a special motor its the people that work for proline that need all the credit

[@danmyers9372]

Very interesting to watch this 3 year old video in hindsight knowing how far the Proline Hemi/Procharger program has progressed. Would be interesting to see a current video as to what specific things lead to the current dominance of this platform.

[@andyharman3022]

Centrifugal supercharger driven off the front of the crankshaft. Engine design has now gone full-circle. Look at Allison V1710's and Rolls-Royce Merlins from WW2. Same general elements of technology, but with 70 years of evolution behind it. Beautiful pieces of mechanical engineering art.

[@vortecturbo]

Great video you guys. Love what you're doing with the company Eric and all the guys working together as a well-oiled machine. Your quality shows.

[@Dr_Xyzt]

We see a lot of billet parts these days, but some of these are particularly nice. The timing cover. The camshaft. The block deck surface. Certain details about this engine are also especially slick. The air plenum is easy to appreciate. Sometimes the metal will warp when you machine the crap out of it like that. The angle from the supercharger to the plenum is the shortest I've ever seen. The fact that it's a methanol engine and doesn't need an intercooler is also awesome.

[@groomlake51]

Thank you guys for keeping it real!!! 100% it’s so nice to see real dyno numbers!! Hearing people claim 5000 hp makes people loose sight of reality. This film was EXTREMELY WELL DONE!!!

This is what is currently happening

[@edwardthayer9386]

Hello, what is that square thing sticking out the top of the intake?

[@XITroll13]

It's a burst plate. If the boost surges past the plate rating, the plate will blow and save the engine from too much boost. It's long like that so it can reach the top of the cowl on the cars hood.

A procharger is a centrifugal supercharger that's run by a belt or off the crankshaft by a gear drive.While a turbo is run off the exiting exhaust.

A roots blower is better and cheaper than a Pro-Charger by far that why you don’t see top fuel using them cause there not as efficient, if they were the best blowers top fuel would be using them think about it, they used the best parts they can get and they use 14-71 roots blowers *( there not allowed to run 16-71’s anymore since they shortened the quarter and changed the rules for safety I think we’ll see the return of the 16-71 and the full 1/4 once the safety equipment catch’s up with the speeds the cars can achieve in a full quarter top fuel cars are hitting 330mph in 1000ft a 1/4 mile is 1320ft imagine how much faster they could go in that extra 330ft they would be getting up close to 400mph which current safety gear can’t withstand but there working on it )* running a big block out past 6500rpm is risky throw a rod or god knows what some ppl are running these out to 9600rpm and have there limiter set at 10600rpm on a BB there crazy

The HEMI is new to the twin turbo world and still under development. Eventually it will do what it does everywhere it's been ALLOWED to compete without massive restrictions and that is dominate. Besides, if one has ever looked at a 481X, it has a cross-bolted Y block just like a HEMI, shaft rockers, relocated distributor and spread intake ports. NOTHING like a 'chevy' in any respect. Not the valve angles, plug location, chamber design...........nothing.
