I have the chance to get a powerdyne supercharger for a good price for my truck. it comes complete minus a tuner. Would you recommend i jump on it or wait it out for whipple unit? which would cost minimum three times as much as im looking at for the powerdyne...those of you who are running one, how has it held up, power increases, what mods you have done to achieve certain #'s in boost, rwhp numbers, track numbers, and those of you who ran one with issues or needed a rebuild etc;

basically my truck is my daily driver, she gets a good beating at least once a day, i want the power, but i dont want to sacrifice my truck in doing so.

Truck is an 08 5.4 with 30,000, gryphon, obx long tube header kit with 2.5" custom dual exhaust and efans coming on this week or next.

If yes, why? If no, why not?

Please help me make a wise decision here

 

Is this the one for a $1000 bucks on Craigslist? If so I'd call gearheads performance and talk to them they are the ones he said that installed it and removed it. Another thing I was looking at was on powerdynes website it said it came with a pump his didn't I think for a grand something is wrong with it possibly if this is the supercharger I'm thinking about.

 

Exactly the one, just wanted to know what your guys' imput is, apparently the owner put in an edge chip, reflashed the ecu and ran the edge tune, blew the motor, sound realistic?

Yeah comes with the 255lph on models that need it, shouldn't cost too much to get one? But whats retail on these new?

 

Man I really don't know what the price is on one like I said your best bet would be to call gearheads performance in arlington or even better powerdyne gearheads performance installed my frpp hot rod cams they are a great bunch of guys

 

typical outcome of a canned tuning device intended for n/a vehicle, if the seller was that stupid, who knows what else has been messed up...


get some detailed pics, and post 'em here so we can help you look the kit over

 

Iv had my powerdyne for 60xxx + on my 97 expy with out issue. I started off with 6psi and im sitting at 9psi.
In the past 7yrs iv done to much to list but shes tuned, meth injected (i use this in the summer) and intercooled.

 

PM me your email so i can send the pictures over. theyre on my phone

 

The only problem I've had with my Powedyne is a broken belt, but i was able to get 60,000 + miles out of one. They are very easy to rebuild and work on one.

 

Hi! Im new here, i have a -00 expy whit a powerdyne sc, it has got 80´k on the clock and runs like a champ, 0-60 in 9sec and outrun most standrad cars at the redlights. Tows whatever is on the hitch.
If you are going for this sc make sure thats compleete, brackets, tubing, fuelpressure regulator etc, if it works you´l be impressed.

 

Are you sure your 0-60 is 9 seconds? Because my n/a 5.4 which weighs 7200 from the factory being a screw fx4 easily does 7's and I bet could do a high 6 and I have toyo mud terrains and 18" diesels

I've taken Hemi's, Titans, Tundras, a 328 stick shift that was 10 model along with my buddies mazda 3, an impala and other 150's.

Being supercharged I hope you do much better than a 9 second or is it just a typo

 

9secs?? Thats what my Dads 95 Taurus with a 3.8 v6 ran back in the day. Holy crap what town do you live in where you beat so many people? I would be a god of speed there

 

Must be a retar...i mean retired community

I live in the heat, my truck did a 7.93 0-60....UP HILL! (before my efans!)

and no, not a slight incline and i live in the desert where the heat gets to these trucks

 

Eeh, i have honestly never done it with a real clock just counting, in my head, mybe i am a bit slow :o

I´m gonna messure again.....

 

Good luck! Otherwise, get your supercharger checked out, unless you've got some fat chicks hiding in the back?!

 

Lmao. Reminds me of a lifted truck in jacksonville NC. Back window says "lift'em high fat chicks can't climb"
