ProCharger C-1X Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 700 HP - 1,000 CFM - 24 PSI Max Boost - Satin Finish - PC061A-xxx
The ProCharger C-1X Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit combines the compact packaging of ProCharger's C-series with X Compressor Technology for builders seeking additional horsepower capability from the PC061A-xxx platform. Rated to support up to 700 supercharged horsepower while flowing as much as 1,000 CFM, the C-1X is designed for naturally aspirated engines producing approximately 150-325 horsepower.
Capable of producing up to 24 PSI of boost, the C-1X delivers serious forced-induction potential without requiring the larger volute used by higher-capacity ProCharger head units. Its compact 7-inch volute, 3.5-inch inlet hose connection, 2.75-inch inducer, 4.25-inch exducer, and 2.5-inch outlet hose connection make it a strong option for high-performance street, street/strip, marine, powersports, and custom applications where both airflow and packaging matter.
The C-1X also uses ProCharger's proven self-contained oiling system, eliminating the need for engine oil feed and return lines. This reduces external plumbing, simplifies installation, and keeps routine supercharger maintenance straightforward. Reverse-rotation capability provides additional flexibility for custom bracket systems, belt routing, and installation layouts.
X Compressor Technology in a Compact C-Series Head Unit
The defining feature of the C-1X is its use of ProCharger's X Compressor Technology. This identifies the C-1X as the X-series configuration within the compact C-series family and distinguishes it from earlier C-series compressor designs. Its published 700 HP capacity gives it additional horsepower headroom over the standard 675 HP C-1 configurations while retaining the same published 1,000 CFM airflow rating, 24 PSI maximum boost capability, and compact external dimensions.
For builders comparing the C-1X with other compact ProCharger options, its appeal is not simply a larger housing or dramatically different installation footprint. It provides a distinct X-series compressor configuration within the familiar PC061A-xxx architecture, making it an attractive choice for enthusiasts who want the most powerful published configuration in this part-number family without moving to a larger supercharger platform.
Understanding the PC061A-xxx Family
The PC061A-xxx manufacturer part number is shared by several ProCharger C-series head units, including the C-1, C-1R, C-1R-72, CS-1, and C-1X. The common base part number identifies the broader compact, self-contained C-series platform, but it does not mean every model has identical published capabilities or operating characteristics.
The C-1X version of the PC061A-xxx family is distinguished by its X Compressor Technology and published capacity of 700 horsepower. It retains the 1,000 CFM airflow rating, 24 PSI maximum boost, 80,000 RPM maximum impeller speed, and 4.70:1 internal step-up ratio associated with the C-1 configuration, but provides a higher published horsepower ceiling. This makes the exact model designation important when comparing multiple superchargers that share the PC061A-xxx base part number.
Progressive Power for Street and Competition Builds
As a centrifugal supercharger, the C-1X develops boost progressively as engine RPM rises. When correctly sized and tuned, this provides smooth throttle response, manageable low-speed power delivery, and strong upper-RPM performance. The result is a head unit that can work well in serious street combinations while still providing the airflow and boost capability needed for more aggressive performance builds.
This listing is for the satin-finish ProCharger C-1X head unit. Mounting brackets, pulleys, belts, crank-drive components, intercoolers, charge tubing, bypass valves, fuel-system upgrades, tuning, and installation hardware are not included unless specifically stated elsewhere in the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the C-1X differ from other PC061A-xxx head units?
The C-1X is the X Compressor Technology version of the PC061A-xxx family. It is rated to support up to 700 horsepower, giving it a higher published horsepower ceiling than the 675 HP C-1 configurations while retaining the same published airflow, boost, dimensions, impeller-speed limit, and step-up ratio.
Does the ProCharger C-1X require engine oil lines?
No. The C-1X uses a self-contained oiling system with a published oil capacity of 2.5 ounces. It does not require engine oil feed or return lines. Follow ProCharger's lubrication, mounting-orientation, service, and maintenance requirements.
Why Buy from Beefcake Racing?
When several ProCharger models share the same manufacturer part number, choosing the correct configuration requires comparing more than the base SKU. Beefcake Racing can help you evaluate the published horsepower capacity, compressor technology, airflow, boost capability, operating limits, and installation requirements of each PC061A-xxx head unit so you can select the right model for your combination.
