I haven't seen any charts or numbers posted yet. I am going off of claimed power gains of 50% on the Jeep 3.6 setup.
I have put a couple of thousand miles on a Jeep with a pro charger and 37's it was fun and got around without any issues.

Never had any issues myself with my supercharged 2010 Tacoma. What issues did you have?

I had a TRD unit on my 2014 Tacoma and loved it off road. Hell, I loved it everywhere except the pump.

Gas mileage sucked, extra maintenance steps sucked, and being forced into premium gas is the main reason. It ran great at elevation I'll give it that.

None of that was all that bad for me. The gas was maybe $5-6 more a tank. Getting at the plugs sucks with it in the way but all well. The included iridium plugs are good for 100K miles. My only issue was with the pig rich Toyota tune. Some days the truck would be a monster and other days it was barely faster than a stock Tacoma.
Not sure if I had changed the pulley yet. My friend's son was recording from their truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwwWX9y1uA&feature=youtu.be

Beat me by 5 minutes.
Looks like the battery will need to be moved but you can still run a snorkel.

I have owned a couple prochargers on my g35 previously and the bad thing is they are extremely loud. Just imagine driving a 4runner with the sound of a jet engine filled with marbles.
They can make good power, but as others have said it is mostly high end rpm power. Probably not well suited to this application unless you are trying to drag race. Also you need to change the oil in them pretty often and it must be with their proprietary oil, and the seals can blow pretty quickly so maintenance is expensive.

They do offer the helical geared version as an option, but yeah I know what you mean. Some people dig the noise, but on a daily driver in city traffic, it would get annoying.
My problem with this setup is that I have dual batteries in the factory locations, which happens to be where the ProCharger and and intercooler pipe run. That's a no-go for me.
Somebody build a super or turbocharger setup that builds boost from 900 rpm to 3000 rpm, and accommodate a winch bumper with winch, intercooler, and dual batteries, and I'd be all over. The URD is the only one that comes close, with the price penalty and possible some time spent dyno tuning.... an LS swap is in the same price range.

They're a couple hours from me, I've pondered asking them to build me a kit for my V8.
