vortech V.S. powerdyne
Alright I saved up and it is time to purchace a supercharger kit. I have been looking at the vortech v2 sq s-trim. Its #@%^$% bad ***! but there is also the powerdyne that runs 9 psi and it is about a thousand bucks cheaper. what to do? does anyone out there have any experience with the powerdyne or vortceh systems?

RE: vortech V.S. powerdyne
If you are running a street car and you dont want ppl to hear the blower.....go powerdyne. They are very quiet. I have the 6 psi unit and I love it. They come with a 3 year warranty.
I like the Vortech also. My boy has one and loves it. I like the powerdyne but dont let me talk you into one. Do the research and choose for yourself......

RE: vortech V.S. powerdyne
I have heard a LOT of bad things about Powerdynes. But SSKiller does actually have a nice setup and his powerdyne has done great for him. I have another guy locally up ehre thats running the 6 PSI powerdyne as well and he has had no problems. If you're a gambler, then go with the powerdyne. But if given the choice I would go with the Vortech. Not even a close decision for me.

RE: vortech V.S. powerdyne
Powerdynes do have one major advantage though. They put a LOT less wear and tear on your engine and will make your engine last longer. That's because for 4 out of the 12 months in a year, it will be sitting at the manufacturer waiting to get repaired as opposed to sitting in under your hood. With Vortechs, they are stuck under your hood for all 12 months, just tearing away at your engine life

I know they're not all garbage... I think the problem is more a customer service issue than anything. And I was impressed with the one I see in person on a regular basis. Not impressed enough to trade my procharger for it, but impresses anyway
