ATI ProCharger Logo (™)

Accessible Technologies, Inc. (ATI) ProCharger was founded in 1994 with a mission to produce a powerful, reliable and efficient supercharger system for a variety of vehicles and engines. Power to the masses one might say. With this goal clearly in sight they charged on to the scene with the first intercooled supercharger system available to the public and street scene. ATI ProChargers were three years ahead of the competition when it came to the intercooled supercharger.

ATI’s first supercharger was the P600B centrifugal compressor that outflowed other blowers at the time by up to 65 percent. ProCharger’s first offerings were for the Chevy small block. They followed with big block versions and then they ventured into the marine industry. They were the first company to offer a warranty that guaranteed boost levels above 8 psi. Additionally, ATI was the first to introduce a fully self contained, gear driven, centrifugal supercharger in 1999. ProCharger has always seemed comfortable blazing new trails.

ATI ProCharger has proven their technology and manufacturing prowess time and again in the professional racing scene. They were so sure of their racing product that in 1998 they introduced the ProCharger D-1 which was the first racing blower that offered a warranty. Over the years ProCharger powered vehicles have tallied roughly 50 national championships in the upper echelons of racing. In 2009 alone ProCharger racked up 12 different international racing championships over eight different racing bodies which included placings in NMRA, NMCA and PSCA. Along with the championships came several broken records by ATI ProCharger equipped vehicles. Their race applications, as well as street, continue to dominate in power and efficiency. ProCharger compressors have boasted setups with over 3,000 horsepower on methanol and over 2,500 horsepower on gasoline.

ATI has built and continues to build ProCharger supercharger kits for a large variety of applications including carbureted and EFI engines for cars, truck and SUV’s, motorcycle, boats and marine engines. They also cover powersport and off-road vehicles such as ATV’s, snow mobiles and PWC’s. After years in the business ProCharger continues to strive to offerr some of the most efficient superchargers on the market today as well as industry leading warranties. As a closing example of ATI ProCharger’s industry leading supercharger kits, their technology and designs have made such an impact that you can easily browse the net and find examples of people erroneously using the ‘ProCharger’ name as an actual type of supercharger.
