Used.. :-)
Its sold...
But, anyways... The powerdyne is a great blower for low boost, and
should
not be used for high boost, due to its internal belt driven, and cannot
take the stress of gear drives... powerdyne sells only 6PSI kits for
our trucks, and I ran a 9# pulley for quite some time (~8months) then
tryed Scott Q's 12# (2.4") pulley, and 1 month later, I had a broken
internal belt... replaced it, and again, started out with the 9#er, then
went to 12# pulley a
few weeks later, and it broke again.... I replaced it, and ran it with
the
stock 6# pulley for 100 miles, then sold it...
I would not recomend powerdyne if you want to go to high boost later
on... this is why I am now waiting on a T-Trim (capable of 26# of boost)
and its gear driven... I've ordered the blower from Marty @
KRCPerformance and he tells me this is the nastiest blower he has....
and should push 12-14PSI with a 3.125" pulley, and maybe more...
Yes, the vortech kit is quite a bit more, but it allows for more
boost...
the powerdyne kit, just bolting it up to a pretty stock motor with 6PSI
and 3-4 days later going to the track, I droped 1 sec from my ET...
then I
mod'd around the blower for more time... :-)
I predict that I will hit ~12.5@108ish with the vortech, ported heads,
custom cam, custom computer, ect... Stall converter prevented any good
runs with the powerdyne, due to the bogging issue... but with only 5PSI
(after 2nd belt) it'd spin 1st and 2nd gear from a stand still....
Choose wisely, Powerdyne is great at lower boost, and Vortech is not for
the faint at heart! :-P
