I have a 2013 Boss and am looking at supercharging it over the winter. I have my mind pretty much set on the Procharger kit with the F1 head unit and 12 rib belt upgrade. Has anyone else done this or had experience with supercharging a boss? From what I have read the Procharger kit seems more straight foward than the other centri kits. I am still open to looking at other centri kits if I can get a great deal and still make the HP I want. Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

F1 is overkill IMO, if your dead set on it plan to build a lot of the drivetrain if not all of it.
How much power are you looking to make?
I'm sorry but a F1 is overkill on a street car and stock motor / fuel system. You can run a P1 or 1 D1 with supporting mods and still make well over 6 safely.
Now if you plan on a going all out... then a F1 would be fun.

Thats the reason I want the F1 head unit and 12 rib belt so I have room to grow in the future. I thought about just getting the D1 head unit but some day I might want to turn it up and have the blower already to do it with. I would be happy with 650 to 700rwhp. Other than injectors what else would I need to upgrade the fuel system? Are the new boost a pumps reliable? I know on my old mustang with the returnless fuel system the boost a pump could cause some issues.
Paxton hands down! Best bang for the buck and good to just over 1000hp!

If wanting 650-700whp go with the Paxton. Beefcake also has the best deals on them.
I heard there is a lot of trimming to get the paxton to fit, is that true? I also thought about the vortech kit. I would assume both those kits are a lot cheaper than F1 procharger.
i can put together a setup for you that will be less expensive than the procharger, have cooler iat's, and make 700-750rwhp out of the gate
Go with a Kenne Bell you won't be disappointed!!!
you would not be dissapointed, unless you want to go fast, lol
No more than that procharger setup!!! the trimming is on the inside of the lower valance! And if done correctly and if you take your time it actually can look good and not look "cut up"!
Lol
you have to modify the fan shroud and a ton of coolant lines for the paxton. well worth it though and it looks good. i just finished my install sunday.
How cooler iat's than procharger?
You can go with our competition Paxton kit. We've made over 1000rwhp on a Paxton 2200.
Hit us up and we'll hook you up.

Thanks guys. I've had a Kenne Bell before and was not impressed with it. I want to keep the boss intake and the centri blowers like the high rpm characteristics of yhe boss engine. Im still not 100% decided on the procharger yet. Has anyone instslled a paxton on the boss?
a boss is no different than installing on a reg 5.0 other than the throttle body adapter.
75% of the guys put boss intakes on their cars to compliment the centri.
the pd's have nothing on these cars. the only one that is competetive is the 4.5L whipple, and it takes 6 more psi to do the same work as the paxton
trust me, you'd be pleased with my setup for you
Ok thanks! I will talk to the other boss about this and get back to you soon. It seems like a really good deal compared to the procharger. Thanks again!
no problem
