Today I had a guy come into work and inform me he had a powerdyne supercharger off of an F150 with a 4.6 for sale. I was wondering how much work it would take to make this work on my mustang. I am planning on building a forged motor and for less than 1000 dollars it would be ok. I think it was putting out around 9 psi and includes a mass air meter, a blow off valve ( I'm not sure why), and the compressor with brackets. He said it is similar to the "johnny lightning kit"

Powerdyne FTL! Also, at anything other than minimum boost (6 PSI) they are reported to shred belts constantly, rather than just consistantly like they do at 6 PSI.
+1 they are pretty worthless. Even ot the stock 6psi boost they need the belt replaced all the time.

Not to sound skepticle but what is all the time, and why do they need the belt replaced so much? I know a guy who has one on his yukon at 6 psi and he says he replaces the belt once a year...I know that is not a mustang, and yeah that is a little much but still.

They are unreliable, they have seals go out/leak oil, etc etc. Anything over the stock boost of 6 or so PSI is going to constantly shred belts.
In short, you get what you pay for. there is a reason the powerdyne kits are so cheap, and it isn't because vortech/ATI/paxton is screwing everyone over. On top of that, powerdyne's kits that have regular gear driven blowers are nearly as much as the vortech/paxton/ati units, so it tells you how much cheaper the belt driven units are.
Powerdyne ftl! Just do a google search and you can find page after page of previous powerdyne owners with complaints!
Why spend the money on a blower that has a history of having problems or requires as much maintenance as Powerdynes do?
BTW I have never met anyone with a powerdyne that didn't regret buying it or didn't have problems with it.
