not sure. But the switch to mass air is easy and cheap........10psi on SD? Is that possible?

Yes... 10 psi is possible so long as you can supply the fuel.

The check valve is installed so that the MAP NEVER sees boost. It should only ever see VAC.

Is the powerdyne a BD11a? I had one once! I seriously would not run 10 psi, I ran 9 psi and the belt broke 2 times both with they exact same mileage on them. I had the unit rebuilt twice professionally by a Powerdyne supplier and it still broke. I personally wouldnt run any higher than 6 psi on those units.

Yes it is a BD11a it was rebuilt by 928 motorsports, it has the billet impeller and kevlar belt and better bearing..Honestly the kit im getting has the 9 psi pulley on it but he is giving me the 6 psi pulley i think thats the one im going to run anyways...I want to get the car in the high 12's It ran 14.4@96 with some bolt ons...but i didnt fine tune it i think it had some more left in it..I ran street tires with a 2.0 60ft..the car is a convertible with an AOD mild stall and 3.27's gears. the car used to be set-up with an older paxton sn93 i since sold that thought i was going turbo didnt happen,so im going to try this blower comes with the extra pulley and a Anderson powerpipe im thinking it should be ok for what i want to run?

IMO I don't think just the addition of the blower will help you pick up a second and half. low 13's I could see. But what do I know?

Mine was also rebuilt twice by 928. I ran a 9 lb pulley saw about 6 or 7. Without Heads or a cam I ran 13.0 at 110. The powerdyne is ok, but i urge you to avoid putting a smaller pulley on for more boost, that unit simply cant take it!! At 6 lbs you should be ok

As stated The check valve needs to close under boost so the map wont see boost only vac.

Are you going to run a FMU?
