It's been done with some success on diesel trucks. There are some YouTube videos of these trucks running. Not sure how it would work in the pulling world though. --- |

I don't think you'd be able to make the power you do with a turbo charger. With a procharger you are pretty limited in the RPMs you turn and the PSI you produce, unless you do something with overdriving the charger. |

And the compressor rpm limit is substantially slower than a turbo because of the gearbox. Mid 70000rpm range vs 110000+.

What about in a alcohol setup? Add what sort of weight would be included in that with all the mounting hardware, gearbox, and plumbing compared to a single turbo setup?
I feel it could be a viable option at some point if it could be worked into the rules for the class. |

Duane Schroeder tried that on his Cornhusker Deere and never could get it off the line. |

GALOT team has a mini rod with a procharger. They ran it for it's maiden voyage at BG 2 years ago. Lets just say they still had a few bugs to work out. |

Pro charger truck is at the 1 minute mark and 13 minute mark in the video. It is gas or alcohol.

I heard the pro-charger was an experiment and that he’s going to/back to a blower in 2021. Can’t verify that but I don’t think he was pleased with the results of the pro charger |

No. Identified belt problems and made changes. Procharger is staying.

Great. Glad he’s sticking with it. It’s a unique set up that makes that class even more interesting. |
