KissMySilvSS Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I am a retailer for Keystone Automotive out of PA, we get our accessories for our dealership through them. I saw the Powerdyne kits in there, I can get them for cost and have our most experienced tech install it for me, so the costs are minimal. Just wondering if it is worth it? Problems? Comments? Please let me know: Here is a newer updated kit (from what I am told, the Silent Drive and belt systems have been updated and are stronger) http://www.aaxel.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv...p;Store_Code=AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thats a nice set up. What is your cost? Does it come with an intercooler? I saw an intercooler with one once. It was sweet. But it had a funny front clip lol. Hey eSScalade how did you do that set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniac Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Powerdyne kits are junk they are some of the most inefficent blowers out there. Ive seen a few IATS in the 240+ range. Better to spend money on a proven kit like a ATI or Magnuson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allballz57 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 He bought it new and he never said anything to me about a warranty,he said they told him it was 1200 bucks for a rebuild so he told them to keep it.I was going to try to get it from him and rebuild it but I guess he told powerdyne he didn't want it back? He used the burb' to haul his firebird to the track and he said the truck went mid 15's with the powerdyne,not sure what it went stock though.

Powerdyne kits are a waste of money even if they were $1000 they still are a waste of your money. I have seen the kits on a dyno in person. Just an example of one car I saw was a LT1 fbody automatic with a cam, headers, tune, and powerdyne. The car made 350 rwhp and 350rwtq which is a joke since you can make pretty much that power with just a cam, headers, and a tune. The entire dyno pull the car was pegging the IAT sensor even when you let the car cool down for an hour between pulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 You will get more reliable power from a head and cam swap and it would cost about the same or less as a retail powerdyne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
