sskiller.... he used to be very active on here... powerdyne ****ed his **** up
yep, the impeller on the powerjunk exploded and went into his motor.

and 374rwhp seems a little low for h/c/i. i made 403rwhp at 8psi with the stock cam...but i had some really nice heads

Keep in mind that it is at 6psi and it is an auto. If and when my s/c fails then I will either repair it or buy something else. If it's mechanical it is bound to fail sooner or later.
I love my car.

What did you have done to make that kind of HP? That is pretty darn good.

badtz's car is about right for 6psi non innercooled h/c/i auto....275rwhp h/ci plus 6psi so 374 sounds right..


powerdyne's sell cheap so it makes me feel there quality is cheap...

Grabbem, I agree with you on that. I am getting either a Vortech or a Novi 2000. I just got a N20 kit so I am going to use that for a while with the typhoon intake until I get my heads. Then im going S/C baby.

the only thing i have heard that is good about powerdyno is there price, but if your goin to have it **** up an engine that you ahve 5 grand into its not really cheap in the long run... i hear there is like a 75% chance of the belt goin with in the first few months of use... in the long run i hear a better made s/c is cheaper and less headaches.... badtz you are just one of the lucky few that hasnt had to experince it which is good dont get my wrong i dont want nething bad to happen to neones mustang... my a few people with camaros can go blow the hell outta the engines the door stoppers are ugly as hell newayz lol.... if you were thinking about a vortech stick with a vortech... if you loaded get a novi2000 there pretty sweet...

Edit: i almost forgot... that s/c on ebay isnt worth more than 800 bucks plus shipping a used powerdyno is not much more than scrap metal.... ask him why his saling it see what he says

afr heads, typhoon intake, 70mm tb, vortech v1, stock bottom end including cam with 100k miles on it, shorty headers, no cats, 3 chamber flows, msd everything.....supporting mods. threw meth into the mix and made 461rwhp but after a year a few of the stock pistons gave out on me along with almost all of my rings at once.
