ProCharger F-1C Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 1,100 HP - 1,625 CFM - 38 PSI Max Boost - Polished Finish - PC327A-xxx-P
The ProCharger F-1C Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit is engineered for serious performance combinations that demand race-ready airflow, four-digit horsepower capability, and the convenience of a self-contained lubrication system. Rated to support up to 1,100 supercharged horsepower while delivering as much as 1,625 CFM of airflow, the F-1C gives racers and high-performance engine builders the compressor capacity needed for demanding street, strip, drag racing, marine, and custom applications.
Designed for engines producing approximately 300-550 naturally aspirated horsepower, the F-1C can produce up to 38 PSI of boost. Its centrifugal compressor design builds boost smoothly as engine RPM increases, helping maintain excellent drivability at lower speeds before delivering exceptional top-end performance.
Race-Ready Airflow for Serious Horsepower Goals
The F-1C is an outstanding option for builders who need more airflow than smaller F-Series head units can provide while retaining the benefits of a compact, self-contained ProCharger. With a published airflow rating of 1,625 CFM and support for up to 1,100 horsepower, it is built for aggressive engine combinations that require substantial airflow without moving into ProCharger's larger race-only compressor offerings.
A 9.75-inch volute, 4-inch inlet hose connection, 3.70-inch inducer, 5.56-inch exducer, and 3-inch outlet hose connection create the airflow path required for high-output forced induction systems. These compressor dimensions provide the airflow needed for serious power while maintaining packaging suitable for many custom engine bays.
Self-Contained Oiling for Easier Installation
The F-1C uses ProCharger's proven self-contained lubrication system, eliminating the need to connect the supercharger to the engine's oiling system. Its dedicated 4-ounce oil reservoir simplifies installation, reduces external plumbing, and makes routine maintenance straightforward compared with engine-oiled centrifugal superchargers.
Reverse-rotation capability also gives builders additional flexibility when designing custom bracket systems, unique belt routing, and specialized drive configurations. This makes the F-1C an excellent choice for purpose-built race vehicles, marine engines, and custom fabrication projects.
Built for High-RPM Performance
The F-1C incorporates a 5.40:1 internal step-up ratio and a published maximum impeller speed of 74,000 RPM. This combination allows the compressor to reach the operating speeds required to deliver its impressive airflow potential as engine RPM climbs.
When matched with the proper supporting components, the F-1C provides the airflow capacity needed for serious horsepower objectives while maintaining the smooth, linear power delivery ProCharger centrifugal superchargers are known for. Final performance depends on the engine combination, pulley selection, intercooling, fuel system, tuning, and supporting hardware.
This listing is for the polished ProCharger F-1C 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 this listing.
