depends on the rest of your mods. Usually cars are putting down in the 240-270rwhp range when dyno'd. Some come along higher than that depending again on mods, weather, dyno, pulley, tuning etc.

Re: My powerdyne is here!

One of the other things i have to do, i have the breather installed just gotta run a tap through the pcv passage and plug it. I already have bigger injectors.
Man I can't wait to drive it when it's done. :excited:

Hey Pewter- I literally just bought my Powerdyne and am continuing to search for necessary parts.Where did you get your injectors/what kind (do you have a link?) Also it isnt mandatory to do a blow off valve correct?

Re: My powerdyne is here!

I know you're not asking me but I use ford green top injectors on my setup. 42.5lbs so it leaves room to grow, and actually they flow closer to 44 on our rail. I do not run a BOV, mine was an el-cheapo from ebay and I couldn't get it to function properly...might be my fault might not be. But no you don't need one with the PD

Pictures of the completed setup.









Look familiar Watazz? LOL I liked the way you did yours, it looked so clean, that i took almost the same approach.
All except my air filter is right on the Powerdyne itself. Getting it tuned Sunday!

hmmmmm yes this looks odly familiar haha. Thanks for the compliment. Did you ever get a solid routing with that electric water pump? and on the vacume thing i think mine pulls like -20, yours will probably change after you tune it. Watch out for the trans lol i know mine didnt hold up for long.

I have used injectors off of an FI cobalt LSJ motor. They are #34, though the guy that tunes for me said they are closer to #40 on our rail. They are multec 2's so i didn't have to splice injector plugs. They are shorter and require shortening the fuel rail height.

Technicly any supercharger setup needs a bypass valve of some kind. at idle a turbo moves little to no air, while a blower is always moving air. At idle if you do not have a bypass the blower is trying to move air with nowhere to send it and eventually over time this will damage the unit. When the throttle is closed you have to vent the air. Compressor surge sound familiar? A proporly set bypass valve should close at about half throttle/load. At idle it vents the moving up to about half throtte/load.

I really ended up have no other option but to remove the electric pump, as there was no better way to route the belt with the unit still installed. I plan on wrencing in the garage some tomorrow hopefully finish and do some testing soon.
