Cobrazex,
You got 344 hp at the wheels with the heads and the Zex? That's darn good...
I hate magazine racing, but here is how I figure it:
Old set up:
Base: 225 hp
heads and intake gain: 70hp
Zex gain: 75hp
-15% drivetrain loss= 314 hp +\-15%
Procharger set up:
Base: 225 hp
Procharger at 10psi: 149 hp (est.)
-15% drivetrain loss= 318 hp +\-15%
Essentially the same gain for a bit less money and trouble to install and no worries about filling the bottle and bottle pressure.
The P1SC is getting a lot of press and good numbers compared to other blowers on the same amount of boost.
I sent away for some more info on the procharger before committing, and the real-life numbers given were astounding.
With slicks and 3.73s, a stock 97 GT (215 hp) went 14.17@93.8...
with the procharger at 10 psi, the same car ran 12.46@109.3
Granted, even with slicks a 14.17 quarter mile for a near stock geared 97 is a little too good, but the increase in performance is duly noted)
I spoke to several performance shop mechanics and they echoed the same numbers. While some still favored Vortech, they admitted that the numbers they have seen from the P1SC were impressive.
91LX, I'll probably be letting the Zex kit go for 300 dollars to MW members only. Anyone else who asks, the kit will be 350...
The only thing it will be missing is the nitrous line from the bottle to the engine bay.
I still love the kit, but I just get on it too much, and I'm tired of messing with the bottle.
