Default Install Complete

I have completed the install of the ProCharger. This thing is amazing but it will get even better after I put it on the dyno and have it dialed in. This system is the intercooled with eight lbs of boost. I easily reached the stock ECU limit of 115 without a ton of pedal input. 110 down the road and drove like a dream, no shimmies or shakes. The truck never once felt as if it wanted to lose traction in turns. The install was a pain in the *** due to the fact that the instruction manual has some serious errors.

Test run #1: Ok power at initial settings of ECMU. No serious throw your head back power until around seventy mph. 4 mpg WOT at 115. Very quick. Should be more low end power.

Test run #2: Bumped up the setting and saw a nice gain in power. Still needs more low end. Return run- set cruise at 60 mph. Trip computer says 25 mpg. I am definitely going to have to take a road trip to get a true reading. It was a five mile stretch so I figured if it was going to fall it would have but it only increased. I reset the reading to zero when I went cruise.

I am going to the dyno this weekend and will give you an update.

awesome... your install looks good.

some further mods to help that low end along would be to...

1) insulate that shield even further and provide a good path of cold air to the filter. IMO, the filter is too small, should be bigger. I upgraded to a 6 or 7x9 filter when I had my k&n setup on my 2000 ram and it was good for the mid range & upper rpms. allowed it to breath much better & the upper rpms did not struggle as much.

2) would be to do the intake mod where you cut the runners down 1.5", again this allows it to breath much better in the upper rpms & if you stop at the 1.5" you wont loose any low end (IMO & experience).

3) add a fuel cooler to the front of the truck (fire hazzard if you rear end someone so do it at your own risk) and insulate the fuel rail. this will keep the fuel cold and cool your intake charge further when the injection event happens. did this mod on my bmw 325 & m3, 2000 QC 4x4 ram 360 & my current 1.8t jetta. works awesome every time I do it. helps the low/mid range power. I really noticed it on the bmw's, not so much on the truck but did gain 6.5% better mileage on the hiway so it did have an effect, the 1.8t... small bump in low/mid power (I should dyno it before & after as it's easy enough to swap in & out).

4) add an e-fan setup to replace the clutch fan. this will help keep the fuel cooler working at it's peak. Shot8283 bought my fuel cooler setup and had an efan already installed and his feed back was that he could really feel a difference.

once you get the tune dialed in, these mods will help it further...

Thought about those mods except #4 looks a bit odd for some reason.

I also thoughtthe filter was a bit small. I am not to worried about it I am going to be doing some fiberglass work, allowing the charger to usethe inducted air from the shaker.

I'm curious to see long term what your gas mileage is with this setup.

colder fuel, hot air = slightly colder mixture and slightly richer (IMO) the efan would allow the fuel to remain cool while at stoplights. improves off idle throttle response.

Know how it works just messing with you since my e-fans can be seen in the pics

I am running the "Cool Pak" from PermaCool. Pick it up from Summit Racing. Great product. You can actually feel the air being pulled standing in front of the truck.
