ProCharger F-1C Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit - 1,100 HP - 1,625 CFM - 38 PSI Max Boost - Satin Finish - PC327A-xxx
The ProCharger F-1C Self-Contained Centrifugal Supercharger Head Unit is engineered for serious performance combinations that demand race-level airflow, four-digit horsepower capability, and the installation convenience of self-contained lubrication. Rated to support up to 1,100 supercharged horsepower while moving as much as 1,625 CFM, the F-1C gives racers and high-horsepower 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 is capable of generating up to 38 PSI of boost. Its centrifugal design builds boost progressively with engine RPM, helping deliver predictable throttle response and manageable power at lower speeds before bringing in serious airflow and top-end performance as RPM climbs.
Race-Level Airflow for Four-Digit Horsepower Builds
The F-1C is positioned for builders who need more compressor capacity than smaller F-Series head units can provide but still want a compact, self-contained ProCharger. Its published 1,625 CFM airflow rating and 1,100 HP capability make it a strong choice for aggressive engine combinations that require substantial airflow without immediately stepping into one of ProCharger's physically larger race superchargers.
A 9.75-inch volute, 4-inch inlet hose connection, 3.70-inch inducer, 5.56-inch exducer, and 3-inch outlet hose connection provide the airflow path required for high-output forced-induction combinations. These dimensions give the F-1C the compressor capacity needed for serious racing applications while maintaining packaging that remains practical for many custom installations.
Self-Contained Oiling Simplifies Installation
The F-1C uses ProCharger's proven self-contained lubrication system, eliminating the need to connect the supercharger to the engine's oil supply. The head unit carries its own dedicated 4-ounce oil capacity, reducing external plumbing and simplifying routine maintenance compared with an engine-oiled centrifugal supercharger.
Reverse-rotation capability adds flexibility for custom mounting systems, belt routing, and drive configurations. This makes the F-1C a versatile option for builders engineering purpose-built supercharger installations around unique engine bays, race chassis, marine applications, or custom fabrication projects.
Engineered for High-RPM Performance
The F-1C features 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 speed required to support its substantial airflow capability as engine RPM rises.
For properly prepared combinations, the F-1C provides the airflow headroom needed for serious horsepower goals while preserving the smooth, progressive power delivery associated with centrifugal supercharging. Final performance depends on the complete engine combination, pulley ratio, intercooling, fuel system, tuning, and supporting hardware.
This listing is for the satin-finish 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 the listing.
