Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Powerdyne Supercharger

Anyone have info or experience with the Powerdyne Superchargers? They dont yet have an application for the Contour, but they look very efficient and simple installation. Bolt on 40-50% hp gain with no fuss about oil lines etc, just a v-belt and intake plumbing. They claim very quiet too.

Just wanted to compare to Vortec. A group buy price could be cheap.

How may CEGers have SC now, and please elaborate or brag about performance. Thanks.

I think it was 11 or 12 CEG'ers that have a vortec on their car. I wish it was a bit more reliable...if it was I'd make it 13

exactly... the Powerdynes look like they'd be very reliable, so I wanted to inquire more. What are the true hp gains for some of the Vortec installs. Are they on SEs or SVTs? R/ Pat

You will still have to use a "jack shaft" to run the S/C and then will be right in the boat with Vortech.

The Vortech's fail because the jackshaft tears them up with it's vibrations/oscillations.

It doesn't matter who makes the S/C until someone makes a reliable jack shaft to run it with!

BTW - The Vortech S/C is adding around 100HP at the wheels!

Powerdyne is belt driven instead of gear driven like Vortech... belts a good hamronic dampening attributes and powerdyne's are super quiet. I'd be willing to switch if Powerdyne would set something up.
