Is there a better air filter and bridge for my Procharger?
My filter is shot so I need to replace it and I was wondering if there's something better available than the stock Procharger filter and air bridge? I'm making 769HP at the wheels with the current setup so will a different air bridge and filter gain me some nice HP? I've read a few posts that said they got some big gains with different brands so I'm wondering if it's worth the coin to upgrade? I have an F1A on the car and it's not a straight shot over the radiator so I'll need an air bridge that goes up and over the radiator. Thanks.

Looks like their closed for the weekend so I'll have to try them on Monday. Someone else mentioned A&A Corvettes in another thread so I'll try them on Monday too. I would like it quick since I can't drive my car now. Thanks.

When you talk with the folks at DP, also discuss their BOV (blow off valve) and its location. I have mine on the intake and the sound it makes when shifting is fantastic.

I was going to use the DP air intake too for a customer's car but they told me that they needed the car there to build one on an individual basis, so we made our own. I believe the Procharger intake leaves a lot to be desired.

I was told on the Big Mouth that I need to install the Procharger drop bracket for the radiator. At this point I just want to drive my car so I think I'll pass on the Big Mouth for this season. Any other options besides the A&A Dongle? Thanks.

If you run the drop cradle, you can flp the intercooler and increase the responsiveness. The bridge is one part, but you need a correctly sized filter. My car sucked the stock K&N inside out, which is what prompted the development of DP's big mouth.
