Default 6psi superchargers???

powerdyne and vortech make these and seems like quite a good upgrade for the money, especially since you dont have to change anything at that low of boost yet can see a 70h.p. advantage over a stock motor, and when you want to turn the boost up you can just buy a smaller pulley. But i can get the vortech system for 1640$(half the price of most superchargers) but the powerdyne is arround 3 grand! the powerdyne doesnt have an oil feed/return line yet the vortech does. should i go with the vortech though cheaper has more work and heat involved with the hot oil? or does putting in the lines just sounds like it sucks but is not that big of a deal? any replies would be appreciated

powerdyne are pieces of crap. they are internally belt driven. not geared. get the vortech. but make sure you upgrade injectors and fuel pump, because you are getting a tuner kit.

Vortech. Powerdyne doesn't hold a thing against them.

How much potential boost does the 6psi have with a pulley change?

This still sounds like a good deal.

Got other things to get done first tho.

um i think the 2.93" pulley bumps it up to 9psi so for 1700$ you can have a 9psi supercharger, not bad huh? but then obviously you would have to upgrade fuel, and eec components. which you get when you buy the full kit but still probly a lot cheaper than the 3000$ system right? but ken belle sells a boost a pump system that will make your stock fuel pump (88lph) run like a 133lph fuel pump and i heard its not that pricy and easy to install. has anyone used it? it does it by bumping up the voltage to the pump i think

you can buy a 155 pump for like 100.00......with that 6spi you will get a fmu to use with those stock injectors..a kiran fuel regutator should be used and a blow off valve..most are set at 10 psi alot of stuff can be bought used.....this is an "A" trim right?
