procharger powers more champions

CORVETTE AUTHORITY
Think our 600+ horsepower C6 Corvette kits are hot? You got that right! The
world’s quickest street-legal C6 Corvette
title belongs to a ProCharger-equipped
car. Running a lightly-modified LS2 small
block, the quick ‘Vette consistently runs
9.90’s in the quarter mile.
But, as the classic Bachman Turner
Overdrive song goes, “Baby, you ain’t
seen nothin’ yet!”
With our new HO Intercooled
ProCharger® Tuner Kit for 2006 and 2007
LS7 Z06 Corvettes, even more power is
possible. Using the industry standard
P-1SC-1 ProCharger head unit with its
patented, self-contained oiling system,
billet impeller and a highly efficient airto-air intercooler system, the LS7 kit is
capable of 700+ crankshaft horsepower
on stock engines running pump gas.
From a rear-wheel perspective, here’s
what the numbers say:
•
•
•
Stock LS7 + ProCharger P-1SC-1 @
4.5 psi = 587 rwhp
Stock LS7 + ProCharger P-1SC-1 @
6 psi = 622 rwhp
Modified LS7 + ProCharger F-1C @
14.5 psi = 820 rwhp
Thanks to the design of the C6 front
fascia, both the LS2 and LS7 kits are able
to utilize a single, large center-mounted
intercooler for an incredibly cool supply
of charge air to the engine.
Fast and easy, the ProCharger kits for
the C6 / ZO6 cars are the quickest and
least costly installation of any forced
air induction system available for these
late-model rocket ships. Add it up: largest
power gain, coolest charge air temps, and
a variety of boost levels mean safe operation on stock and modified LS engines.
And of course, all this performance
potential comes with our legendary
OEM-quality system hardware, and is
supported by the industry’s best dealer
network. While LS1, LS2 and LS6 systems
are available 100 percent complete, the
LS7 offering is sold as a tuner kit.
For C5 Corvette owners, the ProCharger Stage II System utilizes twin, front
mounted intercoolers to provide the coolest charge air temperatures, greatest air
flow and largest power gains on both LS1
and LS6 models.
Initial testing on the 2008 Corvette and
new LS3 engine has shown 550+ rwhp at
just 5 psi. ProCharger systems for the ’08
LS3 Corvettes will be available in the very
near future – watch ProCharger.com for
updates.
FIRST TO MARKET:
2008 MUSTANG 3V
Staying out front and pulling away,
ProCharger is proud to be the first supercharger manufacturer to announce
availability for the 2008 Ford Mustang GT.
For 15 years, ProCharger has been
adding cost-effective horsepower to
these popular pony cars, and the 2008
models are no different. Running just 10
psi of boost, owners can achieve 540+
flywheel horsepower with their stock
three-valve 4.6L engines on pump gas.
“The three-valve Mustangs continue
to be a focal point for the performance
industry,” says Cary Pangrac, Sales
Director at ProCharger. “2008 Mustang
customers can expect the same levels of
power, reliability and ease of installation
as the ’05 through ’07 owners.”
Be sure to stop by the ProCharger
display at the 2007 SEMA show (booth
#24365) and check out our new 2008
Grabber Orange Mustang GT with an
Intercooled ProCharger System.

TORQUE?
LEADERSHIP THROUGH GOT
PROCHARGER VS ROOTS
INNOVATION
Lead, follow or get out of the way. Everyone likes to use this saying as a way
to differentiate themselves from the competition. But, there is a real difference
when it comes to backing up those words
with cutting-edge innovation, rock solid
engineering, superior manufacturing and
unsurpassed product performance.
On the street, on the track and on the
water, it’s these factors – and many more
– that separate ProCharger® from all the
others.
Self-Contained Superiority
Introduced in 2000, self-contained
ProChargers are specifically designed
to be self-lubricating -- not as an afterthought. Not only does this make our
superchargers easier to install, but this
patented, gear-driven, self-contained
design is durable enough to be backed
with a full 3-year warranty.
Manufacturing Technology
Using state-of-the-art, five-axis CNC
machines, our impellers are created from
aircraft grade 7075 T-6 aluminum alloy
for tremendous strength and performance. This top tier material used in the
construction of every ProCharger billet
impeller allows us to machine larger
diameter impellers that are free of the
flaws found in typical cast impellers.
Larger, structurally-sound impellers are
capable of higher speeds, which flows
more air and produces more power while
maintaining the industry’s best reliability.
Additionally, the precision bearings
used in all ProCharger models are of consistently higher quality and carry higher
load ratings than those of our competition.
Billet Gearcases
ProCharger designs and manufactures
the centrifugal supercharger industry’s
only billet gearcases for superior rigidity,
durability, sealing and appearance. This
means higher boost levels and superior
overall performance than other superchargers. This proven, self-contained
billet ProCharger design has become the
standard by which others are measured.
Integrated Intercooling
ProCharger introduced the industry’s
first intercooled supercharger system
three years before our nearest competitor, and is still the only company
that offers intercooling as an integrated
solution rather than just an add-on. Only
ProCharger offers integrated intercooling
across the entire product line.
ProCharger intercoolers are the most
effective available for both street and
strip applications, are made in the USA,
and now come with an industry-best
3-year warranty.
Hot rod tractor pulling has traditionally
been a roots-style supercharger market.
But torque is what makes the full-pulls.
In a search for more power with a flatter, more useable torque curve, a roots
customer contacted us regarding the
installation of two ProChargers on his
twin Hemi-engine tractor. When the dyno
finally went quiet, it wasn’t even close!
When fitted with a ProCharger F3R139, the big Hemi twisted out 1,638 ft. lbs.
of torque at 34 psi, while the roots peaked
at 1,307 ft. lbs. at 44 psi.
The horsepower results were even
more telling: the ProCharger-equipped
Hemi produced 2,025 hp at 49 psi versus
1,386 hp at 47 psi from the roots blower.
Bottom line: ProCharger produced 25%
more torque with a lower boost level and
46% more horsepower at similar boost.
PROCHARGER: THE ULTIMATE POWER ADDER
While talk is cheap, enthusiast events
around the country allow customers to
prove how products perform in the real
world. With unmatched street performance on pump gas, far more national
racing championships than the competition, and multiple wins in extremely
demanding street/strip events such as
Drag Week and True Street, ProCharger
continues to strengthen our reputation as
the ultimate power adder.
Beyond performance, forced induction is also the most fuel efficient form
of high performance, and intercooled
centrifugal supercharging is the most
engine friendly and easily installed type
of forced air induction. For maximum reliable performance, look to the intercooled
supercharging experts – the staff at ATI
ProCharger.

PROCHARGER POWERS
MORE CHAMPIONS
With the racing season winding down,
ProCharger® is on track to have our best
year ever. By the middle of July, nine different racers in six different sanctioning
bodies were already leading their respective classes.
By early September, two racers,
Phil Clemmons and Travis Franklin, had
already locked up their championships,
and the other seven were leading their
classes. At press time, two additional
championships were won, with Jarod
Weinrick and Mike Modeste claiming the
Pro Street and Limited Street championships, respectively, in NSCA racing.
NOPI isn’t just about imports anymore.
Phil Clemmons represented American
muscle by winning several NOPI Drag
Racing Association Pro Street Tire events
in April and May and locked up his second championship in recent years.
In addition to his numerous wins, the
Sandston, VA racer was the #1 qualifier
on several occasions in his 1995 Mustang equipped with a ProCharged small
block Ford. A former NMRA Drag Radial
champion in 2004 and record holder in
2005, Clemmons has also posted wins in
Fun Ford Weekend racing.
The second to wrap up his championship was Mansfield, TX racer, Travis
Franklin. Campaigning his 2003 Mustang
running a ProCharged small block Ford,
Franklin ripped through the highly com-
petitive ProCharger Street Renegade
class at numerous Fun Ford Weekends.
Running rock-solid in the high 7’s all
season, Franklin was a force every time
he unloaded. He took the points lead after
Norwalk, OH and never looked back.
Congratulations to all of our ProCharger racers and their teams for helping
us to a record-year in competitions all
across North America. Check the Racing News section at ProCharger.com for
updates and the final year-end tally of
ProCharger Champions.
Racing Support
ProCharger is not only proud of our
racers, we’re proud to provide more attrack race support than any other supercharger company, period. During 2007,
our own Motorsports Team attended
more than 30 events, including multiple
appearances at Super Chevy, Fun Ford
Weekend, NMCA, NSCA, NMRA and
NDRA events across the US.
TRUE STREET
TERROR
The NMCA True Street category is a
real radiator-buster. Designed for streetlicensed and insured vehicles, competitors must complete a 30-mile drive before
making three, back-to-back passes.
At the July “Super Bowl” of Street
Legal Drag Racing, Paul Ferrucci won the
class from a field of more than 80 cars.
Ferrucci’s eye-catching 1980 Malibu is
powered by a small block Chevy with an
F-2 reverse ProCharger and averaged an
outstanding 8.64 seconds @ 160+ mph.
SHOWDOWN AT INDY
The Super Chevy Series rolled into historic Indianapolis on July 13 -15 and was
a “can’t miss” event for the Chevy fans.
In a highly anticipated match race
between Mark Micke and Jarod Wenrick,
the blazing on-track action culminated in
the quickest and fastest centrifugal supercharged side-by-side pass in history.
At the big end, Micke powered his way
to a 6.32 @ 226 mph with Wenrick right
beside him, stopping the clock with a 6.41
@ 218 mph. What an incredible race!
Hailing from Jefferson City, MO, Micke
pilots a beautifully prepared and engineered ’68 Camaro powered by a 526 cu.
in. big block Chevy fitted with an F-3R-139
ProCharger.
Wenrick also runs a bad-to-the-bone
‘68 Camaro, powered by a ProCharger
F-3R-139 enhanced, 565 cu. in. big block
Chevy. To date, the Tipp City, OH racer’s
best run has been a 6.41 @ 221 mph.
But the 6’s didn’t end there, as
Ric Fleck also left his mark in the
ProCharger record books, becoming the worlds quickest and fastest
ProCharged, Powerglide-equipped car.
Making his first 1/4 –mile passes ever,
Fleck ran in the 6.50’s all weekend with
a best of 6.57 @ 215 mph.
Be sure to stop by our booth at PRI
(#2619-2824) to see one of these outstanding – and very fast – ProCharger
race cars.

1740 HP ON HOT BIKE
PUMP GAS BAGGERS:
Long-time ProCharger® dealer and all
around great guy, Steve Morris was the
subject of a Dec. 2006 article in HOT ROD
Magazine. The five-page article was an
overview of how Steve Morris Racing
Engines build “big-inch engine packages
with a ProCharger blowing into a carburetor and makes stupid power on junk
gas.” Their words, not ours!
In spite of what the article says, we
don’t see anything wrong with a guy who
wants 1,600+ horsepower in a street car.
Given Morris’ experience in building and
selling these super-stout combinations,
ProCharger is proud to be associated
with people like Steve, his team and his
customers.
“I saw an opportunity to build engines
for people that are afraid of turbos and
laptops,” explains Morris. In addition to
big-block Chevys, Morris also builds and
sells supercharged Ford small-blocks,
pulling truck engines and marine engines.
And what of the car hosting that 1,740
horsepower monster? Morris’ own 1993
Chevrolet Caprice wagon tries to put all
that power to the ground and yes, is still
street driven. In an update to the HOT
ROD article, Morris has now taken the
4,450 lb. grocery-getter to an incredible
8.31 @ 170 MPH on drag radials.
BLOWN BEAUTY
Specializing
in coverage for
the laid-back,
loud and proud
cruiser and
touring owners, Hot Bike
Baggers covers everything
from stock
motorcycles
to wild and wooly custom baggers. So to
“bag” the October 2007 cover bike is a
big deal – especially when it’s a LeroyThompson custom, equipped with a
gleaming ProCharger supercharger and
side-mounted intercooler.
The blacked-out, blown 2006 HarleyDavidson Road King was built by LeroyThompson Choppers from a customer’s
perspective, meaning, keep it within a
budget and keep it perfectly rideable.
The article quotes Leroy-Thompson’s
Scott Webster as saying “This isn’t your
grandpa’s Road King. I wanted it to be
something really fun to ride that also
looked badass while carrying your wife
on the back.”
Mission accomplished.

SUPER CHEVY SHOWS
2007 HOT ROD
POWER TOUR
V-TWIN EVENTS
In 2007, ProCharger® served as the
official sponsor of the Super Chevy Show
Bracket 1 Brawl. The 18-event schedule
was a huge undertaking for Super Chevy
Show competitors and event staff alike.
But, super fast action on the track and the
great General Motors products rolling in
for the show made it all worth the effort.
The 53-foot ProCharger trailer and our
hardcore event staff made appearances
at multiple events, including; Fontana,
CA; Memphis, TN; Indianapolis, IN and
Kansas City, MO.
ProCharger is proud to be the only supercharger manufacturer that is a sea-
son-long sponsor and the only one showing up to support our racers, and also give
everyone an up close look at some great
ProCharger-equipped vehicles.
In addition to catching the action on
the track, show goers could also stop by
the ProCharger display and sign up to win
a complete ProCharger system for their
GM vehicle.
From carb small blocks, to huffed-up
big blocks, LT1 and LS1 F-bodies and all
the way up to LS GTOs and new C6 and
ZO6 Corvettes, ProCharger has a kit that
will make your Chevy super.
What started back in 1995 as a way for
HOT ROD editors to take a cross-country
road trip with their project cars, has now
grown into a week-long, traveling roadshow of horsepower and chrome with
enthusiasts from all over the country joining in for the show.
ProCharger was the only supercharger
manufacturer in attendance. With tour
stops in Springfield, IL; Evansville, IN;
Memphis, TN and finally, Little Rock, AR;
the ProCharger big rig and display, along
with many loyal ProCharger-equipped
customer vehicles were on exhibit at
each stop.
Running in conjunction with the
Power Tour, the Dynomax “Power to the
Wheels” dyno challenge played host
to some of the most wicked cars in the
country. After nine qualifying events, four
ProCharger-equipped cars powered their
way to The Top 10 and will compete in the
finals at the 2007 SEMA show.
With more than 400 V-Twin exhibitors taking up two floors of the Cinergy
Convention Center in Cincinnati, OH, the
V-Twin Expo is first-hand evidence of
just how big the Harley-Davidson V-twin
customizing market has become.
This expo is a trade only show, open to
retailers, manufacturers and media. And
making sure those folks had some great
ProCharger-equipped American muscle
to look at, three top-notch bike builders
were represented in our display: Jesse
James’ West Coast Choppers; Scott Webster’s Leroy-Thompson Choppers; and
Kim Suter’s K-C Creations.
All three of these show-stopping
custom bikes were fitted with the latest
Intercooled ProCharger Systems for
Harley-Davidson engines, as was
a stock Dyna-Glide.
ProCharger also participated in the Sturgis Rally,
Las Vegas BikeFest and
Daytona Biketober Fest.
PROCHARGED-EQUIPPED RACER WINS DRAG WEEK!
The HOT ROD Drag Week event is a
grueling, week-long endurance test that
requires every car to drive the full route
under its own power with no support. For
2007, the event was packed full of 8 second cars, but no one could touch Dennis
Terzich’s ’67 Camaro.
Powered by a 580 cu. in, carbureated big block Chevy with an F3R-131
ProCharger and intercooler, Terzich was
the only car to run in the 7’s at all five
tracks with a best of 7.61.
Terzich captured the Unlimited Class
win, as well as the overall win and the
title: Fastest Street Car In America!
Congratulations to Dennis and the other ProCharger-powered racers who competed in this challenging event.
Jesse James’ creation rides with
ProCharger power.
