anyone running a powerdyne supercharger
i was just curious i might get one in the spring. if i dont buy a 2001 mustang Bullitt. i just want to know what people that are running/ran them think. or any opinons for that matter i wanted a forced induction. i wish i had the $$ for a kenne bell twin screw.
I put a Powrdyne super charger on my 2001 Ram 1500 2WD 5.9. So far so good but, I found the company very cheesy to deal with. The old we have a kit onthe shelf turned out to be a two month wait for a pulley not to mention to poor product suport. As far as the blower goes. I'm happy. The belt will slip when you honk on it and I bought a after market tensioner kit on e-bay. The tension pulley in the kit is a bit 1950's stuff. Also Powerdyne supplies plastic presure tubs. I got a poorly made one the first time around from Powerdyne and it leaked where to couple fit. The instructions are off the back of a cerial box and poorly writen. No mention of the modifications you have to make if you have A/C. I had to figure that out. My summary: Good product, poor support. Next blowe will be a Paxton just becauise of the support. I wish Whipple mad one for the 360.
I'll post some pictures in the next week or so.

So whats the performance you truck has now? will you pretty much toast the HEMIs and Titans? What would you estimate a 0-60 time of? how is the hole shot (any delay or sluggishness at low RPMS)? Let us know everything you can. Im thinking about a supercharger of some sort as well...too bad im a poor college student!
I really like ROM's take on TB spacers. You hit the nail right on the head. The other myth is the "Tornado" for your intake tube. With EFI/Port the mixing is at the valve. Talk about better mouse traps and gizmos. Dyno's don't lie. Imagine magnets attached to your fuel line for improved milage. RIGHT! There are very few "bolt on" HP products but I have found starting at the crank and working up works. Getting the engine to breath clean and efficiant works. The engine is like a big air pump in a way. I found the Supercharger a fair bang for the buck as well as get rid of the exhaust ASAP. I haven't dragged it much and I haven't met up with a Hemi yet. I'm more into chasing boom cars (lowered Honda's and the like) down the free way. She's in getting a color change to FJ6 Sassy Grass Green like the Cuda I had and a few engine mods like a creat engine.
Cheers Eh!
Cheers Eh!
Old post new info.
Here's how it is going. I install a kit on the belt to improve belt tension. I found it was slipping when you "stomp" on it. The stock Powerdyne set up is cheesy at best. By the way. a stock Mopar ideler pully is about $50.00 and you can replace the bearing for about $7.00 very easly. The guy I bought the tension kit from is GS Motorsport in CA. I think he operates out of the garage. Not much in replying to tech questions but, I figured it out anyway. TTFN
