I had a Powerdyne before I got a Vortech. The Powerdyne is quiet compare to
a Vortech (a slight whistle). There is a problem with the durability of the
internal drive belt. Mine lasted 20k miles and require a rebuilt/upgrade for
$600. Quite a few other Powerdyne owners have had belt failures. I would
suggest another brand. Powerdynes are also limited in the output. I doubt if
it can provide more than 6lb for a 360.

Speaking of blowers, I have spent quite a bit of time looking for a
blower for
my '98 (assuming that some day I will have the money burning a hole
in my
pocket to buy one), and have looked pretty thoroughly at Paxton,
Vortech, and
KB....But Powerdyne has recently introduced a blower for the 97+
daks (neither
Vortech or Paxton have a "drop-in" kit for us yet as of last time I
checked).
This blower is oilless, so the install is supposedly easier, and the
whole
discussion of whether having a seperate oiling system, or using your
engine's
oil-system becomes a moot point. The Powerdyne systems are
supposedly quieter
than any of the others as well...The big question is, does anyone
have any
ACTUAL experience with these units? Quality? reliability? ease of
install?
power output? noisyness? cost?
Just curious.
