For the complete system with the bypass valve and 9# pulley...that's an
excellent deal.
The bypass valve allows the boost to be recirculated rather than build up
and cause extra heat in the blower. You don't need boost at 2500 rpm while
cruising on the highway (unless you're "getting on it").

Subject: DML: Powerdyne SC, is it worth it?
I would really like to get your opinion as to why.
I came across the following for $2000:
Powerdyne Supercharger kit for 96-99 Dodge Dakota V8 (318-360ci).Kit has
less than 150 miles on it, like brand new.Kit includes a Satin finish
compressor,6PSI pulley,inline fuel pump, fuel management unit,K&N air
filter, and all needed hardware.Extras include a 9PSI pulley,MSD boost
retard,correct sized belt,160 degree thermostat,Autometer gaugepod with
white faced boost gauge and Air/Fuel gauge,and a NA Motorsport By-Pass valve
already installed.
Is it worth it? Or am I wasting my time with this. What is a "bypass valve"?
