2005 Ford F-150 ProCharger Kit - Picking Up the Pace
Brian wanted to route the tubing out of the intercooler a little differently than the instructions. He dug into the Dez Racing blower-tube supply pile and got to work. A cut here and a weld there, and he had the setup he envisioned.
The massive inlet tube is attached.
The throttle body is attached to the intercooler by way of a long tube. The stock MAF sensor electronics are swapped over to this tube as well.
Final fitting of the tubes takes place, and the clamps are tightened.
An aluminum bonnet is lowered into place and complements the engine compartment.
The bypass valve is vented to the atmosphere via a long hose. This places an air filter behind the front bumper. It helps quiet the bypass valve, but that cool blow-off noise is still audible, just not obnoxiously loud.
Mike loads up the ProCharger-specific tune from a DiabloSport Predator. The Predator is included in the kit and reflashes the computer to a blower-friendly program.
Here is the finished product waiting to be spun on the DynoJet chassis dyno at Dez Racing.
Our final numbers were 337 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque at the rear tires. The previous numbers were 236 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque at the rear tires.
