I believe it's 7-8 psi and 420h.p at the rear wheels?

It's a non-intercooled kit, but Powerdyne's are internally belt driven and don't require oil. that means they run cooler, and you don't have to tap into your oil pan as with Vortech's. The Ford Motorsport centrifugals for fox and sn-95 cars are Powerdyne's with Ford's name stamped on them. If they will stand behind it I see no reason not to buy one.

it comes with injectors/tuner/all the goodies. check out their site or re-racing.com. R&E's website lists them at $3500 (still a DEAL), but they told me today that they lowered the price to $2950 to compete with Paxton and Vortech (both @3200)

umm yeah - they're compareably with the other centrifugals. They've been around for well over 10 years. With cent's the power isnt "right now", but at least they are very easy to install yourself and remove for warranty work if need be.

A roots/screw will make more power at a lower rpm - but at $2500-$3000 more. Funny how everybody (including me) ran cent's on their Fox's and SN-95's and nobody complained. Somehow everybody thinks they're crap now?. The roots are great but they are ridiculously overpiced.

Cheaper is not always better ...
The more you pay usually the better quality and longer lasting and safer the product is and that goes with almost anything .... buti really really hope you proved me wrong
