Finally pulled the trigger F1A race procharger system on way in black!
So much back and forth this was not an easy decision but had a lot of good help and info from TPS and Vengeance. Cesar at TPS was super helpful. Doing install myself taking to Vengeance for tune and header install. May or may not do meth install myself just depends on free time.
Anything I need to be aware of before I get to installing? Want to do it in stages maybe 750 to wheel initially until I can go full port injection.
Signature wheels on way as well with Cup2's hoping those give me a bit more traction than my PSS and lighter wheel setup. Super excited to hopefully join the 1000 hp club soon.

Absolutely bud. Kit won't be here for couple weeks or so. Then I have to install, and take the car to get tuned. Good 1.5 months or so. Waiting isn't so easy...

Good choice in power adder and rims! You may need a drag radial setup, have to see how those things stick with that power going to them.

Yeah I struggled with the wheel size choice. I figured if I get the Cup 2s hot they may be ok since the Procharger moves the torque curve up in rpm. I know it’s not ideal for the hp numbers but I thought I would go for looks with signature wheels then find some cheaper 19’s with an E/T street tire for any strip use. I have carbon ceramics so I don’t know if 18” rears will fit.

Rather than getting into, rolling... Then the car breaking loose at 5K or up in the MPH. The car punches hard after 4500 rpm and if you're not sticking the entire time your *** end is going to want to come around.

I considered the R888R's and may regret already purchasing the Cup2's. And yep totally understand until heat is in them they are pretty much worthless. I will try the R888r's next round. The 19/20 setup with Cup2's are more for when I track it at Roebling road. I still want to track it lightly.
What I plan on doing is going with an 18" rear and E/T streets or Nitto drags. That's the only way I will get some decent traction. This would be my drag strip setup which I honestly would do a few times a year.
All great advice thank you!
