ProCharger CS-1 Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 550 HP - 900 CFM - 24 PSI Max Boost - Satin Finish - PC061A-xxx
The ProCharger CS-1 Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit delivers a distinct combination of compact packaging, high impeller speed, and proven ProCharger reliability for performance builds that do not require the full horsepower capability of the larger C-1 configurations. Designed for naturally aspirated engines producing approximately 125-250 horsepower, the CS-1 supports up to 550 supercharged horsepower while flowing as much as 900 CFM.
Capable of producing up to 24 PSI of boost, the CS-1 gives builders serious forced-induction capability in a compact 7-inch volute. Its 3.5-inch inlet, 2.75-inch inducer, 4.25-inch exducer, and 2.5-inch outlet hose connection provide the airflow path needed for high-performance street, strip, marine, powersports, and custom supercharger applications.
The CS-1 uses ProCharger's proven self-contained oiling system, eliminating the need to connect the head unit to the engine's lubrication system. This simplifies installation, reduces external plumbing, and makes routine supercharger maintenance more straightforward. Reverse-rotation capability also provides additional flexibility when designing custom mounting and drive-system layouts.
High Impeller Speed in a Compact C-Series Package
One of the CS-1's defining published characteristics is its 8.30:1 internal step-up ratio. Combined with a maximum impeller speed of 105,000 RPM, this distinguishes the CS-1 from other head units sharing the PC061A-xxx base part number. It gives builders a dedicated C-series option configured around a different operating profile while retaining the compact footprint and self-contained architecture of the broader family.
The CS-1 is especially well suited for builders who want more airflow and boost capability than smaller compact head units provide, but whose combination does not require the higher published horsepower capacity of the C-1, C-1R, or C-1X models. Its 550 HP rating and 900 CFM airflow capacity make it a focused option for matching the compressor to the actual needs of the engine rather than choosing more head unit than the build requires.
Understanding the PC061A-xxx Family
The PC061A-xxx manufacturer part number is shared by multiple ProCharger C-series head units. It identifies a family of compact, self-contained superchargers rather than one single compressor configuration. Models within this family share core packaging characteristics, but their published horsepower ranges, airflow ratings, maximum impeller speeds, internal step-up ratios, and intended performance levels can differ substantially.
The CS-1 version of the PC061A-xxx family is distinguished by its published 550 HP capacity, 900 CFM airflow rating, 105,000 RPM maximum impeller speed, and 8.30:1 internal step-up ratio. Compared with the C-1 configurations previously listed under the same base part number, the CS-1 has a lower published horsepower and airflow ceiling but a significantly higher step-up ratio and maximum impeller speed. Those published differences give the CS-1 its own operating profile and make it important to select the exact model rather than relying on the shared base part number alone.
Built for Efficient, Dependable Performance
The CS-1 combines its compact dimensions with smooth centrifugal power delivery that increases with engine RPM. This progressive boost characteristic can provide predictable throttle response and strong upper-RPM performance when the head unit is properly matched, installed, and tuned for the engine combination.
This listing is for the satin-finish ProCharger CS-1 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 CS-1 differ from other PC061A-xxx head units?
The CS-1 shares the PC061A-xxx base part number with several C-series models, but its published specifications are different. It is rated for 550 HP and 900 CFM and uses an 8.30:1 step-up ratio with a maximum impeller speed of 105,000 RPM. Those figures distinguish it from the C-1-based configurations that carry higher horsepower and airflow ratings but lower published step-up ratios and impeller-speed limits.
Does the ProCharger CS-1 require engine oil lines?
No. The CS-1 uses a self-contained oiling system with a published oil capacity of 3.2 ounces, eliminating the need for engine oil feed and return lines. Follow ProCharger's lubrication, mounting-orientation, service, and maintenance requirements.
Why Buy from Beefcake Racing?
When multiple ProCharger head units share the same manufacturer part number, choosing the correct model requires more than comparing the base SKU. Beefcake Racing can help you evaluate the published airflow, horsepower range, impeller speed, step-up ratio, packaging, and intended use of each PC061A-xxx configuration so you can select the head unit that properly matches your build.
