Default Powerdyne supercharger on my car

ok guys ive read alot of reviews and some say there abslute crap some say there not bad if you run low boost. i have a 98 gt with a full pi swap and nitrous and other things. Here's the thing. i made a litttle over 260 hp N/A and 290 tq on spray i made close to 360hp and over 400 rwtq ok so my question is this guy has a brand new powerdyne that was rebuilt my 02forest and it has the stronger parts in it. what kind of number would i make on an 8 lb pully and adecent tune? is it even worth it? thanks guys!

You might get close to the same peak horsepower numbers, but the torque and power under the curve won't even be close.

Spray + bottle will blow your connecting rods + much more.

If you wanna do a supercharger on a budget then piece together a vortech or procharger. Theres a $1500 dollar supercharger thread in the Pipes, Boost and Juice section of the forums.

Keep the bottle......where you at in NC?
