The powerpack can be worth ~50rwhp.. don't underestimate it. If you're at 200rwhp expect 250rwhp, if your at 160 expect 210, etc. etc.

I have the complete powerpack on my car and did pretty well NA.

i have the complete power pack on my car and have done pretty shltty. and only god knows why.

SSM is a great business. and his work is top notch. as well as his customer service. but if you are like me and not a mechanic, all i have to say is you better know a mechanic. with mods come probs. the last time my power pack was taken to the track it ran a 16.5 at 79 mph. woohooo

Nino, I hate to bring it up, and I do so respectfully, but haven't you had problems from the install forward. Not to say that the install was the problem. I seem to remember you having problems with smoke, etc. Is there a possibility that the install could've gone wrong, or that you received faulty parts. Again, I'm being respectful, but I don't ever remember your supersix package being right, even when you ran those good times last year.

Hey Magnus please post up and tell me that you would do it all over again without a doubt. Im this close to ordering it but now nimo has got me worried.Did you also have problems with it?

[98GREENGLOW]

Ok I just did a search and Im not gonna single out magnus, cuz Im sure there are plenty of you out there who know about the powerpack.I would really appreciate your opinions on the complete package since if majority of you say it was worth it I will be ordering it within the next week. Thanks for any help.

[Magnus]

If I did it all over again I'd order these from SSM: Heads, CAM, Valve Springs

I wouldn't get the intakes though.

My honest oppinion.

[98GREENGLOW]

Appreciate the help. Anyone else????

[98GREENGLOW]

Oh another ? While doing the search I couldnt find any hard numbers. For the 2 grand I might be spending, Id really like to know what type of realistic performance gain I can hope to acheive in terms of quarter mile.The SSm site says any where from 13.8 to 14.8. Yea right thats a 1-2 second better time over stock. Maybe Im wrong but those type of numbers at 2 grand would render the powerdyne a bad investment if one had to choose.So whats the real time reduction from someone whos been there and done that?

[nino]

green, i am not dissing the power pack or SSM. i am just saying life is a lot easier when you know what the hell you are doing. take magnus and me for example, magnus knows a crapload about auto mechanics and hows and whys of auto mechanics, i dont know jack shlt about auto mechanics. his car is awesome, my car sucks. see the pattern. ask magnus who installed his power pack and i will give you the number to the shop that did mine. ask magnus who does his repairs, and i will give you the number to the shop who does mine. do you see what i am getting at?

i say get the power pack. i have total faith in it. i back SSM 100%.

you want numbers? magnus got his car into the 13s, i got mine to 14.45 from a 14.8, royce (the very first owner of a power pack) didnt even see 14s till he added more mods to the power pack.

yes, royce will prolly say that his instalation went agoof and he had problems to. i dont know what my problems came from. i will say it was not from SSM. more likely improper installation or damage during shipping, or just my ignorance.
and minor, yes, i have had nothing but problems since the power pack was installed-why- only god knows. now i wish i had just done a swap.

for the record i say get the power pack.

edit: i just wanted to say best of luck. i know the excitement of wanting the power pack then ordering it and then driving around town with it. ;)

Nino, i hope you did not forgot about me. Still wating on the sound clip and cam specs. :D

[98GREENGLOW]

Yea I see what your saying, its not somthing minor like a exhaust.If problems occur they are very expensive and only a real mechanic could figger that stuff out.Man this is somthing I got to study and think about for a while.Im just in a big rush cuz Im gettin ready to get a 3-4 grand tax return and i want to shut some peoples mouths at the track.Well thanks for your input cuz your just telling me how it is...

Say nino, wasn't Royce problem due to the cam and the lack of computer reprogramming?

[nino]

green, did you see this?

i had smoke from day 1. one year later i actually find out that i had a broken valve guide. (not a cheap fix) my problems could all be from shotty installation. but now i have fixed the valve guide and found myself in another shlthole. just my luck i guess. just imagine, have you seen my mod list and seen that my last run was a 16.5 @ 79 mph?

and for toast, i am sorry. i was on vacation for 3 weeks and no internet allowed on vacation :D but my cam specs are 220/224 114 l/s with a lift of .47. and for sound clips i will need to find someone with a better computer than mine. i will get them to you though.
