hey anybody have any expirence with powerdyne super charger i was looking into it and they apeal to me because of the price. is it worth it? oh and is there a way to make it fit without cutting a hole in my hood?

 

[R8D-XXX]

Eh, they are okay. I see decent numbers out of them sometimes.

Their biggest down fall is that after a while, the internal belt will break. But once you rebuild it with a kevlar belt, they seem to hold up for a while.

Also, people run Vortech's under their stock hood so I wouldn't imagine a Powerdyne would be any different.

 

[sik97bird]

theres a reason why some of us run a vortech V1 or V2.

 

[ogbird95]

is it about the same size?

 

[Red97Tbird]

I got my used V1 vortech for 750 and all the parts to put it on for anoughter 450 and it fits under the stock hood.

Looking good Red, That is the same setup that I will have on my Bird later down the road

 

[Red97Tbird]

This time is with the factory single exhaust Its faster now..My time is the right lane..

 

[Jeremys95Thunderbird]

That loks real nice Red97Tbird.

 

[Red97Tbird]

Thanks still have a few things to do. Have to Relocate the radiator hose and i'm taking out the soft crap on the intake tube and swaping in an aluminum pipe.

 

[Boston-Bull]

Red is the V1 Vortech oil cooled from the engine ? Just wondering

 

[ogbird95]

shoot envy of the neighborhood, how does it sound? whats the gas mileage like? thats what i call a supersleeper

 

[Red97Tbird]

Yea it uses engine oil. I get about 22 to 24 mpg as long as I drive like I have some sence. The car is crazy loud right now to the point I don't like it, hurts my ears. I drive with ear plugs lol. Right now its ported manifolds no cats xpipe and no mufflers. That's with a 2.5 inch mandrual exhuast system. With the factory exhaust all you could hear was the supercharger.

In your sig. You have 3.73 gears not 3.75. :tongue:

Yea, we need to run our cars some day.

 

[Red97Tbird]

Lol opps. Yea we need to. I want to do a few more things and get a set of slicks. Then maybe ill run in the 11s like you.

 

[ogbird95]

how would you make it quiter? would some cats help or a resonator

 

[Red97Tbird]

Adding mufflers should help it's just stright pipe at the moment. I would of had some put on with the exhaust system but I hadn't planed on the flowmasters being rotted out again. This is the second set of flowmasters I have had on the car. There were no baffels left at all in them. Going with magnaflow this time maybe they will hold up. Just didn't have the extra 200 on me after 300 for the exhaust system and 120 to have it put on.
