Hey dillon1340...my head unit was junk...rebuilt too many times....bearings, impeller and case are not good anymore...

I currently have the mounting brackets and 7" crank pulley on Ebay now...will be selling the polished discharge tube and by-pass valve in another week or so once I get my Vortech and now what I need and dont...

are the powerdynes really that bad then? don't they make the kit for ford racing? seems like ford would go with something good. i have heard others complain about powerdyne and i thought it was just because of that belt drive.

I think every person I have talked to who had a powerdyne has had problems with it.

it's not the belt drive that makes it bad. it's the bearings they use. they just dont hold up wort a damn. i was thinking about going with a powerdyne when i first came in here cause you can get there 9psi kit for under 1900 bucks and you didnt have to drill any holes in the oil pan for oil for the supercharger... but it's just not worth it.. i'll spend the money and buy a good blower now that i have seen all the horror stories on them. i vote kenne bell. lol. i will have one..ohh yes.. it will be mine.

My .02

When they work they build nice quick and quiet power..problem is they dont last that long....ask SSKiller what happened to his motor from a new Powerdyne....

Decided I am spending big money on a new motor so I am not chancing it with the bad Powerdyne unit...

The customer service from Powerdyne is almost as bad as their products....I would not recommend
