Re: Procharger invoice breakdown (LT1Vetteguy78)
They've already charged you 3.75 hours of dyno time and you're chart looks like that? That seems a bit excessive to me to have already spent that much time on the dyno and have your curves all jumpy like they are.

Re: Procharger invoice breakdown (LT1Vetteguy78)
You mentioned in your previous post that they "tuned" your engine, but didnt edit the ecm program yet. The 3.75 hours only resulted in two pulls (one pre one post SC)?? Exactly how did they tune anything without the program to edit the ecm calibrations? Did they just play with the FMU? If thats all I would dispute that charge. Overall I guess it could have been worse. The bottom line is; Are you happy with it?

Was it worth the $$ ? How's the car running?
Also, you may check the "for sale" section on some of the Ford Lightning forums. Quite a few Lightning owners have upgraded their 42 lb injectors.

Re: Procharger invoice breakdown (STL94LT1)
The car flies, i mean it really jumps off the line...My only beef is the advertised numbers by ATI compared to what i got, i feel i was mislead bigtime.... and the noise from under the hood, which like i said before, its like a rattle from the pully's or a vibration...I LOVE the high pitch whine, that noise i like....but this other noise its equivilent to a rattling muffler(lil less noise but you get the idea)and you can hear that it is coming from the "pullys"? where the procharer is attached....If someone wants to call me i will let them listen lol to it

Re: Procharger invoice breakdown (LT1Vetteguy78)
You have to read those dyno comparisons carefully. For example, the TPIS dyno before and afters, while true, are misleading. Take their Mini Ram for example - they claim it makes like 95 more HP than the stock L98, but what they mean is where the Mini Ram peaks it is making 95 more HP over the L98 at the same RPM - but where it peaks is far beyond where the stock L98 drops off, like 5800 RPM or something. I'm not taking shots at TPIS, just citing an example.
I don't know if this is the case with your Pro Chager or not. Glad to hear it's running strong!

Re: Procharger invoice breakdown (loiq)
That rattling is the head unit and it's normal at low idle..........like it has rocks in it......after some mileage it will get less but will always be there at low rpm...if it bothers you raise your idle....the procharger whine will get less in time also.

Dont be mad at the Procharger for your dyno numbers. Like you said they still need to edit your ecm. With a good tune you should see at least 400wrhp.

Re: Procharger invoice breakdown (LT1Vetteguy78)
Another happy spooler... and I'll bet if ya get someone to help you tune it right (3hrs is more than enough time with the right programmer and a dyno) you'll think you can fly...
