2008-2009 Pontiac G8 Superchargers

ProCharger supercharger systems are absolutely the most powerful and reliable supercharger systems available for your vehicle. For street use or at the track, ProCharger supercharger systems will deliver absolutely the largest increase in horsepower and torque available from any supercharger system. In fact for applications running pump gas, ProCharger systems can often deliver approximately twice the performance gain of our nearest competitor. And thanks to the extremely low engine intake temperatures provided by ProCharger technology, ProCharger systems also provide much better engine longevity by protecting your motor from detonation. ProCharger systems are designed with a fundamental understanding of the physics behind supercharging, and are engineered to the highest quality standards.

It is this approach that allows ATI to offer exclusive features which improve both the performance and reliability of ProCharger systems relative to other products. For example, it is simply an undisputed fact that lowering the engine intake temperature will substantially improve both performance and engine longevity, and ATI provides the coolest intake charge air temperature in the industry by a wide margin. Similarly, by using CNC machining and nearly indestructable 7075 T-6 aircraft aluminum to produce the largest and strongest impellers in the industry, ATI is able to again improve both performance and reliability. The ProCharger is the only supercharger to incorporate a billet impeller in production models, and is another example of ATI's technical leadership. This quality and durability in turn allows ProCharger customers to have further peace of mind knowing that ProCharger superchargers are also backed by the best warranty in the industry.

How Does It Work?  In simple terms, an engine's ability to make power is directly proportionate to the amount of air and fuel that can be brought into the combustion chamber.  Putting more fuel in is easy.  It's like opening a faucet.  On the other hand, getting extra air into the chamber is a more difficult matter, since it's essentially "drawn" in.  The Magna Charger supercharger increases the displacement or "blows" more air into the engine.  This is called "forced induction," and it's widely used in racing, aviation and industry to extract maximum power from internal combustion engines.  You get the fuel economy of a smaller engine, with the power and horsepower of a larger, stronger engine. 

What's Best For Racing Isn't Necessarily Best For The Street.  A racing engine is designed to provide peak performance for a certain period of time.  In drag racing it's a matter of seconds.  For oval track racing, it can be 500 miles.  That's nothing compared to the 100,000 plus miles that's expected of a street driven vehicle.  Magna Charger's primary criteria is to manufacture systems that produce a high specific power output for long-term highway use without engine damage or undue wear.

OEM Quality, Emission Compliant.  Each Magna Charger system is designed to strict OEM specifications and is completely integrated in today's compact engine compartments.  In addition, they are engineered to be 100% compatible with all factory emissions equipment.  Most Magna Charger systems are 50-state legal under C.A.R.B. EO # D-488, #D-488-1, #D-488-2, and #D-488-3 (certification numbers vary upon application) and EPA exempted.

Unique Internal Bypass Valve.  The key feature of every Magna Charger system is the unique internal bypass valve.  This virtually eliminates the parasitic pumping loss of the supercharger under part throttle and cruise conditions.  For example, an Eaton M90 requires less than 1/3hp at 60 mph cruise. 

Tested and Proven.  Extensive engine and engine chassis dynamometer testing, as well as on-track performance evaluations, shows Magna Charger systems to increase horsepower and torque from 63-125% on GM Corvette engines.  The Magna Charger supercharger system is a proven, reliable system, designed to maximize thermal efficiency.  Accordingly, it will produce more horsepower per pound of boost than any other forced induction system for street applications on the market today.

Complete and Easy To Install.  Ease of installation and maintenance is designed into every Magna Charger bolt-on supercharger kit:  maintenance is minimal due to integrated lubrication and self-adjusting belt drive system.  Every kit is 100% complete, including easy-to-follow illustrated installation manual; no special tools or fabrication are required.
