If the powerdyne and Vortech kits are like the ones I've had... they are two
totaly different tentioner setups...

The powerdyne is a manual tentioner, that you have to basically use a hammer
to tighten tight enough, and the Vortech kit that I have now, uses the stock
tentioner... I've pulled 14PSI with that kit.... (T-Trim)

Powerdyne maxed out at 8PSI w/o belt slipping, blower just isnt big 'nuff to
push any more.... that with a 2.4" pulley, which is supposed to push
14PSI... it got to 8PSI at like 3500, and stayed there....
