I am serious..they are terrible...there is a guy on here..>SSKiller I think he is..his Powerdyne blew apart and blew his motor and it was only a few months old I think....if you call Powerdyne now to get one rebuilt..they will probably tell you they dont have any bearings to rebuild them....they suck...
Hope it lasts through the dyno session...of course some of them do last, but 90% dont.....

RE: 5.0 hp
I had a powerdyne 9 psi setup (only made about 6-7) and it chewed 3 belts and the bearings (cheap ceramic) went out twice (8 months). If you're going to rebuild it, at least buy some stronger bearings and a better kevlar belt. Don't send that sh*t back to powerdyne, they'll just keep putting the same crappy parts back in it. I sold mine and bought a NOVI 2000, no problems yet.

RE: 5.0 hp
yerah we got a better belt and stuff but the whole things been one since the car was brand new so i dont expect it to grenade anytime soon, if u necked down the inlet pipe wouldnt it produce more pressure becasue it would be pumping the same amount but in less space ya kno? make sense? am i full of s***? i'd really liek to kno about the other mods that i have and what i have to do in orer to make em work (heads and cam)
