1,250 HP, 427ci F1-X ProCharged Hydraulic-Roller LS (1,436 hp E98)
Centrifugal superchargers offer a unique set of characteristics relative to other means of delivering boost. Most notably, ProCharged engines give a very predictable throttle response. Being driven off the crankshaft, no spooling is required which with turbos causes lag. They have a very different torque curve than a twin-screw design and have no internal bypass. Our Whipple builds will, for example, provide explosive, tire-shredding, low-end torque. Our ProCharged builds will come on softer, with torque & horsepower increasing linearly with RPM making them easier to handle. For street performance, it's a matter of personal preference whereas a linear and lag-free throttle response is critical in road and drift racing. Drag racing applications see all three boost types employed with great success. This F1-X boosted 427 ci LS is designed for ProTouring while offering an optional extra flex-fuel kick at the track for the weekend warrior. It comes equipped with a Holley water-m
