It was on the test mule for Golden West. I talked to the owner of Golden
West for about forty minutes and asked him series of question concerning the
Powerdyne upcoming 4.7 supercharger and which one to apply for my taste.
The mods were, PCM, 92 plus Octane, t-stat, headers, exhaust, pulleys, K&N
intake, intercooler, HO fuel pump, HD water pump, HD radiator, and some new
plugs (heat range?). The rest of the motor was still stock. The problem
now, after conversing e-mail with KRC, Powerdyne will no longer sell the
12PSI due to long longevity engine problems.
I was seriously considering this unit since it can push the Dak 4.7 to
400RWHP but the life expectancy will be short to the engine. Especially
with an additional 75HP NOS shot.

Steven,
You witnessed a 12psi Powerdyne on a 5.9? What Powerdyne unit puts out
12psi? Also, an increase like that ain't no bolt-on. That truck had to
have some serious work to put 376hp at the wheels, including PCM changes,
bigger injectors, new gaskets and rod bolts, and probably a workaround to
the MAP output. Do you have more specs on this truck? What changes were
made?
