i like the powerdyne.my next truck is going to be a 2003 f-150 5.4 . someone said that the hp. is going to 300hp and the LB is 380LB don't know if the LB is the right numbers.i will put the eaton on that one for sure.i went with this one because of the money and i plan to trade in my truck for that 2003 5.4 . it's easy to take off,easy to hide that it was on their.the 2003 will be a 2 wheel drive ,ext ,short bed, 5.4,white larit ,power averything lust like my truck now.all in all very happy with the powerdyne.and their is more low end then i was thought their would be.

kevin 3636,
I finally got the fuel regulator back from Powerdyne yesterday, where it had been for over a week. I've been driving without it for that whole time, being very easy on it. Well, I put the regulator on last night and guess what? I STILL don't think I'm feeling any boost. If so maybe only after 3000 rpm or so. I've studied over this thing a dozen times to find anything I've overlooked, and nothing wrong! Will your truck idle in gear? Mine will about 1/2 the time. I have to keep a foot on each pedal just to be safe. I had a mechanic tell me he'd advise new plugs and wires since my truck has 72K on it. I haven't tackled that one yet, but is that really killing my expensive boost? I also have headers to go on when I get time. Do you have headers?

Somebody please help!! Nobody around here has any experience in supercharged trucks and I don't honestly know what differences I should be able to feel. And I can't put up with the idle problem (not safe at all!). Thanks again.
