It is louder than the P1 cause the ratio is 1.0 more but reliable 550rwhp your tune will have to be 100% dead on. If the weather or conditions change some boom.....so just be really careful. Some guys are running upto 600rwhp on a stock bottom but it will only be a matter of time. Have fun play safe.

My D1SC is loud. It has the filter right in front of it. Andy's current kit has the filter in the fender.

... imagine never having to lift between shifts with boost that comes on like a freight train 
The gear drive in the S/C case is what makes the noise that folks comment on... not the impellar. D1's are typically louder than P1's. We have made specific requests to ATI for quiet head units on P1's and they have delivered a couple to us that are very quiet, IMO. Hell, ATI even tests the decibel level and writes it on the box when packing it up for shipment. I have not asked about this for D1's. Gear cut and lash have everything to do with what people hear and some even complain about. Don't you guys remember what (cam) gear drive sounded like in the "old" engines? Same thing...

The F1 and F2 have 5.0 ratio. I have one of there newer more unique units called an F1C that has a ratio of 5.73:1 which is VERY loud. this is all acording to Procharger Specs page at www.procharger.com

Does anyone know what the pricing on a D1sc kit runs? Im really considering it. What numbers would I put down with the lowest setting? My mods are as follows...
Donaldson Blackwing
Borla Catback
LG Longtubes
Off Road X pipe
G5X3 on a 114 lsa
comp 921 springs
chromoly pushrods
titanium retainers
dyno tune
car put down 380 rwhp without the catback or blackwing. Im thinking maybe around 400 now.
