I'm thinking about a project car for Dragzine.com and wanted to see if I could use a ProCharger in Super Street?
We're kicking around building a car that can be used in multiple classes so that's why I'm asking. It will use an LSX based engine so we can run a class in the NMCA, do some index racing locally, and maybe try to see how bad we can get stomped against NHRA competition ![]() Any help would be greatly appreciated or experience you have to offer on the subject. |

The blower setup itself is legal in the Super classes .
I have seen at least one car try it in Super Gas although I don't think it was a serious attempt . With enough dyno time and a talented tuner I see no reason it cant be done . The only difficult area I see is boost management during the launch and throttle stop duration,and progressively bringing in after opening the throttle. Especially if it's going to be a small tire car !

This project car is going to be an interesting one that will see a lot of racing with some big tires on it. I wanted to be sure that the blower would be legal for Super class racing before I made my final pitch. Will it be super competitive I don't know, will it be fun, you bet your last gallon of race gas it will be! |

Better check all the safety requirements closely. The blower changes a lot of the safety requirements.

being that he only has 2 posts, hasn't logged in in nearly 6 years, we've never heard of anyone running a procharger at all no mind competitively in S/ST, I'm saying no.

Ray butler runs some kind of under hood blower on his Malibu and won the north east super street points championship this year! He only runs a few divisional events but he is a great racer and I think he’s got it working pretty good!

Phil Unruh had a supercharged small block in his formerly Comp/SS Cobalt when he ran it in Super Street. I'm unsure if it was a ProCharger.
As is typical, he did well with it.

There is someone on the left coast that has won a few divisionals in S/ST with a blower, in a Camaro I believe.
