Default Thoughts on using procharger intake on NA lt1

I like the appearance of the Procharger intake manifolds but have no idea if they would work on a NA application. I have sent Prochager an email asking if they have any data. No response as yet. Does anyone on the forum have any insight into this issue?

Look at the G1 PRO intake the vendor in here to give a message to on it is edgyvette his name is Cajun. By dyno run off this intake will out do the one you are looking at plus cost is about half.

Plus the guy that builds them I would think can more than tell you what runners to use on the set up for a all N/A motor build.

Do you have any data to support that it out performs the Procharger intake?

You will lose a TON of low to midrange power with the procharger intake, even if you’re running a blower. NA would be a total waste of money.

You are better off getting your intake ported or buying an MSD atomic intake.

I have the msd intake. When I bought it initially my car was na. We did a a to b comparison msd vs stock no other variable and gained 29 and like 22tq if I remember correctly, not sure 100% on tq. This was a heads/cam na setup with those numbers. It’s great on forced induction to but has limits on boost. I’m running 16psi and seems to be close to the limit. Also the price is right. The money saved can be used to make the msd prettier. If your worried about looks.

It's would not be a very cost effective purchase. A ported/shaved MSD Intake would look better IMO, and likely make more power on an N/A setup. The aluminum is also going to function as a large heat sink.

Those taller runners only going to help on the top end. Plus to me on the N/A motor unless a big CI motor that intake is going to be more of a heat blanket much more than the stock ported intake are the MSD set up. That will make your IAT temps go up them that will pull more power out of the car. Robert
