+1 those powerdynes are junk. You would save money by going with a better setup like procharger or vortech because you WILL be disappointed with the powerdyne and youll waste money on it. I cant see you making more than 320whp with it non intercooled. Its not even worth the money IMO. Powerdynes are not "safer" because they make less power either. You could still easily blow your motor if it doesnt have a decent tune with 320whp. The tune is the key to bieng safe with anything like nitrous, turbo, or any supercharger. Listen to what people are saying because these are not simply "opinions". These guys have been down the road a time or two with boosting their cars and they have alot more experience with it. There have been many engines destroyed after the weak impeller and drive system fails on their powerdyne units, causing the pieces to make their way into your intake. Honestly you should be running a minimum of 8psi. That will make at least 340-360whp on a non intercooled vortech setup and more like 370whp on an intercooled procharger. Extremely safe on stock internals with a good tune. I had a vortech s-trim with paxton 2 core intercooler and it made 400whp/400wtq on 8psi. I beat on my car alot too and not ever had a single problem. Its your car though and I guess you will do what you want with it, but just try to stay open for advice.
