Good guess there. It is the D1SC. I am adding an intercoolor and will be using the water injection kit that came with the motor. Motor has less than 1000 miles on it and was built by a reputable muscle car owner/builder/enthusiast in Sacramento area.

Are you going with an on demand methanol injection system like the Snow performance one? And damn D1SC at 14 psi, these lil guys are really pushing the boost!

Can't remember who makes the water/meth injection kit. It may be Snow, but not sure.

The P1 is the little Procharger, so I guess the D1 is the medium guy.

I remember reading people who were brainwashed to believe at that PSI you needed an F1, no way a D1 could be efficient at that PSI. Now look at all the 700 plus RWHP cars on a D1....LOL

The Methanol injection is about the cheapest insurance you can get for a FI build especially at 14 psi on pump.

Yeah the F1 can produce a ridiculous amount of power no doubt, but the D1 is no slouch!

And yes the water or meth injection is an overlooked/underappreciated insurance policy.

Badass! I really like this build one day I will build my own. I hope! Also for the people calling the D1 a little blower I have seen a few make 800rwhp on blower alone, not saying its easy but its possible.

Trust me I know what they are capable of! I will be getting rid of the spray and going this direction. Would like twin turbos but not ruling out a procharger setup.

Nice. Gotta keep your leverage intact at those street races for cash?

The head/cam/N2O is a formidable opponent....

It actually looks like it has more bark than bite. Of course I have no traction running the 19/20 inch rim combo. But soon when the summer hits it will be nasty off the line with some 20 inch drag radials!
