I've been watching this since SEMA. Since it has user adjustable, on-the-fly, variable boost, it should ease some of the concerns people have about boost being dangerous/unusable in off-road situations. It's a great solution for those of us that drive on the street 90% of the time. :pepper:

Did they explain if it just adjust boost on the fly or the boost and tune on the fly?

The controller only adjusts the supercharger's drive ratio to one of four selectable modes. This allows the driver to control when, where, and how much boost it produces.

The rep I spoke with indicated that, like most of their ProCharger kits, the i-1 kit will include larger fuel injectors and a tuner. I didn't ask about on-the-fly tune changes though.

I'm really looking forward to reading actual driver reviews once they start hitting the market. :driver:

i talked to grant from procharger today and this is what i got

-the modes tune the truck as well as the ratio on the supercharger

-change modes on the fly

-the race tune will push a bit more power than the current kit they have. he said we should def see over 500rwhp easy.

-the kit will be ready for sale in 3-4 weeks for us

i really like the way this is setup. the cvt will basically let the charger be at full boost almost instantly. i really think this will give alot more low end power.

talked to procharger again today. here is what we spoke about

-the display/tuner will plug into the OBDII port just like the sct units do.
-CVT belt is made to last the life of the vehicle, so no maint there
-whole kit has been redesigned from current kit. better intercooler, different pulley and brackets so any past belt slippage issues are gone,new tune.
-here is the cool part i found out today. the tune has parameteres to meet but will learn and tune itself as needed. for example i asked what if i put the kit on and i decide i want to do long tube headers? procharger said the kit will learn the new setup and make the required adjustments quickly and u will NOT need a new tune. it will adjust and run correctly.
-remember this is a cvt trans on the charger so not only can u adjust the max boost with the tuner it will build boost faster with no lagging. at WOT instead of the boost gradually increasing with the RPM's, the CVT trans will make the charger boost to max boost limit right away. this will build more power quicker. the torque curve on this should be wild!


-i talked to them about becoming a vendor here, i told him the interest i have seen here about this kit and the interest in general about F/I. also the fact that one of the 1st vehicles they have the kit coming out for is the raptor it would be a good idea to become a vendor here or atleast stop in and drop some info kinda like JLT. they said they actually are getting more and more into forums as they think its the best way to get the word out. they are very interested in coming here and they took down the forum name and said they will look into it.

if i can think of anything i forgot i will update it but i think thats it. its been a busy day for me....
