Default Powerdyne install

I will say this much for you guys thinking about a S/C. It runs well but the kits leaves a little to be desired.
1. Must have stock crankshaft pully.
2. Air box sucks.
3. You need a midget and really tiny hands to get into some places.

Oh yeah, it does have a little whine but it does not bother me to much cause thats what a CD player is there to cover up. LOL
Keep on keeping on everybody.

Still looks stock from the outside too.

Let me tell you guys a little of what I went thru to get this done today. Started out leter than I wanted, around 11am. Layed the parts out and had everything that was supposed to be there. That should have been my first warning that it would go to sh*t. First the Underdrive pully for the crank needs to be a stock one so I went to a couple suto parts stores and they had nothing so I called Ford and they had one for $74.00, had to tell the man to f*ck himself. So I borrow the father in-laws truck to go to the junk yard and pick one up. Find one but the radiator along with the rest of the front end is pressed against it, so I move one. Found one and finally got it off two layers of skin later. Now, by this time I should know that its going down hill fast but I do not see the signs. So I leave the junk yard and head to the house. Coming up to a stop sign the d*mn rotor on the front right of his truck snaps. Barely avoid hitting a car. Have to call and get Larry (father in-law) to come up and see his truck. We go get a rotor and fix it but the brake line in the rear has burst also. I guess it happened when I was trying to push the brake thru the floorboard and into the asphault to stop the truck. We get that fixed and get the truck to the house. Its around 7pm now. Get everything else hooked up and send the wife to get a belt, (Only had one for the underdrive pully system). One she brings back is 1 inch short but get it right on the next trip. Finish around 9:30pm. What a day.

Wait a sec... so I have to remove the UD pulleys if I put a 6 PSI powerdyne in my 95 GT? I was unaware of that. That's kind of a pain in the ***.

Well not as bad as I first thought, but it still sucks. Luckily, I still have the OEM pulley.

Yeah If you don't remove the U/D crank pulley, instead 6 psi, you may get 1-2 lol.
