1st gear is useless on any 20 inch tire. Once you install, look for a set of 17s with either some nice dot wheels or go full rtard and get track slicks.

I must agree. It has made me a much more courteous driver. I cant dart in and out of the lanes when I know that if I go over 50% throttle the car will down shift and then all hell breaks loose. So now I just cruse at the speed limit like a grandma.

Well if a Procharger encourages driving like a grandma, then I'm out...

Ha. It's up to you, you start pushing the 800+ horse power range, breaking the tires loose at 70 mph you'll dial it back too. Or maybe not. Turbo, supercharger, nitrous, combo of them all at a cretin power level you've gotta be smart enough to know when you can beat on the car. But I guess that's why the high way has barricades.

Agreed!. That is definitely one of the con's of the auto IMHO. Maybe try the paddles in that situation so you can force it to the gear you want.

You Procharger owners. Got a part throttle question. Can you smoothly go part throttle from 2500 rpm to 5500 rpm without bucking? Say you were in the wet or slightly damp road and wanting to go quickly but not WOT to spin off the road. But say build only 2 psi instead of 7 or 8 psi. Is the throttle mapping good enough to let you do it. My 2016 procharged mustang had a hard time doing this and would buck and not run smooth.. just like a wild horse. Lol

It is all in the tune, you are in full control with the throttle.

Even the PD cars drive great and you would not know the supercharger is there until you cross over Atmospheric pressure, in simple terms transition from vacuum to boost.

Yes you can control the boost with the throttle.

Even the self proclaimed best mustang tooners in the game had bucking problems with the Procharger for a couple years.

My Eforce 1LE you tuned was great. The mustang gave me a bad taste for Procharger. I think it was just a tuning inadequacy. The GM ECU I think is a little more forgiving. Which is good for me. I miss the acceleration of boost.

I have done plenty of Prochargers on mustangs and never experienced an issue like that.

We recently did a 14 Mustang made 740 RWHP and drove like stock.

My car did buck a little with a bad tune. After Ted straightened it out, it was a night and day difference throughout the entire rpm range. So it very well could have been just the tune on your mustang.

The torque tables and inverse torque tables along with IMRC valves on the 2015+ Mustangs gave tuners fits. The stage one intercooler on those made it harder to tune out the bucking too.

Mine made 630 whp on a D1SC HO tuner kit. But always had probability issues at part throttle. Tuner blamed the standard surge valve.

Ted's tune on my Eforce was smooth as silk on my 2013 1LE.

It is all in the tune. I'm wondering how smooth the Procharger canned tune is.

My car never bucked. Drivability is close to stock until you want to get moving. I've driven my car at highway speeds with the M/T's on and have never ahd a problem. At the end of the day its about you. You have to know what is too much and not enough. Plus leave traction control on and youll be fine(ish)

I don't' want to say anything negative about the Procharger canned tune but it just didn't work out for me. As much as I hoped I could get away with saving a few bucks and running the canned tune for a while. I'm sure they have a LOT of customers running the canned tune with no problem though. I guess everyone's results may vary.

What were your issues with there canned tune?

Power too low? Drivability/smoothness?
