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 .... but i really really hope you proved me wrong

I'm a strong oppenent to YGWYPF. Whatever people want to belive, there are deals out there. The powerdyne centrifigal supercharger is a good kit, and is comparable in quality to the Vortech kit. Now, I wouldn't get a non-intercooled supercharger, but for the price, this is a HELL of a good deal.
Its funny how the people who come in here and talk about how powerdyne is crap (or cheap is bad) all have less then 50 posts....
Go for it, to be honest, thats for pointing it out. I may have to go for it as well. I'm not looking for amazing power, and this seems to be a great $/hp deal.

What does the my number of post have to do with anything in this thread ? I only post when I have something constuctive to add. What I should have said maybe was to be sure to make the right decision for his wants and needs. Price alone should not be the determining factor and shoud carry less weight in the decision making process than quality. I try to bye the best products I can then do all the dirty work myself thats were I would try and save the money.

I have a Chevy pickup that I put a Powerdyne supercharger on. Honestly I was not impressed with the power gains. I bought the Powerdyne because I got a deal through Summit Racing (15% off). I was looking to do a supercharger and that was the one I could afford at the time. There were a few parts missing from the package but they shipped them out to me in 2 days.
Not only was I not impressed with the power, but literally like ONE week after the warranty ran out on it, it started squealing like crazy and I had to remove the belt before I melted the thing into a solid chunk of metal. Eventually I'll take it to a shop and have it repaired so that I can sell the truck and buy Mustang parts.
Maybe my particular Powerdyne was a rare faulty one, but my experience with it was enough to make me never think of buying one again. It's not like I raced around and abused it.
Usually, but sometimes you're just getting screwed.

Maybe you screwed the pooch sort of speak on the installation. You weren't impressed with the power gains? Did you have it dynoed?

No I didn't have it dynoed and I didn't install it myself. A friend of mine who worked for a turbo shop down the street did it at his house. He knew what he was doing. It was a pretty straight forward setup though...not a lot to mess up.

Powerdyne has been around for a good long time, they got to be doing something right... and comeon, a blower on a chevy truck, if it was an older one, ie:5.7l or 5.0l, you would need major head and intake work for it to be worth a damn, if it was a newer vortech series, 5.3, 6.0 etc, something wasnt tuned right for you not to have decent power gains. as far as it grenading on you, anything could have cause that, a faulty bearing, too much tension, any thing.

Powerdyne makes a decent Entry Level Supercharger however they will require belt replacements and bearings changes pretty often. I know many guys that had tried them on there F-150's due to the low cost and have spent more on belt and bearing changes putting them at what a Procharger or Vortech would have cost to begin with. Just be advised they are inexpensive for a reason. The Powerdyne also have no room for growth meaning you get what it is and cannot increase boost. Also 7-8 PSI on non inter cooled boost is very dangerous the intake charge is still going to get very hot. Most of the Powerdyne only run 6 PSI because of this
