what do you think I should do?

[sonicblue87lx]

I just currently installed a powerdyne supercharer on the car this past winter and its been nothing but problems for me. If one thing doesnt go wrong its another or something doesnt fit right and its just becoming a mess. I went to where Im supose to get the car tuned at and he pretty much told me the same things. Therse just lots of lil things that need to be fixed or ill prob end up breaking down cuz of it. Now they install Vortech blowers there. Do you think I should have them take the powerdyne off and install a vortech? I mean I know most of you off the bat will say yes. But The thing is I dont have the Cash for the Vortech and install. I was planning on pulling a loan out to take care of a couple things. Should i take some of the money and do the swap. Id end up selling the powerdyne and getting some of my money back which is a good thing though.

What do you guys think. Im leaving on doing the Swap but thats a nice lil chunk of change to drop at the moment

Supercharger belt was hitting coolant overflow tank sliced a nice gash in that, The way they have it I had to cut down my fan to allows the pulley to fit well at high rpm the pulley hits the fan and starts to grind the supercharger belt. thers other things I just cant think of them at the time. But its just problems after problems with this kit. It was not a simple install

This is most likely not what you wanna hear but

When you move away from stock, the car requires more attentition from you to keep things like they should be.

The farther from stock ... the more you gotta get involved.

It looks like you don't do your own work so that is additional cost to you.

IMHO, even it you went to the better blower, you will need all the supporting stuff like fuel, ignition, tune, etc in order to make it the most reliable it can possibly be.

But Still ... a max effort street combo is not just a turn the key, drive away, don't do anything but change the oil kinda deal like you can do with a stocker.

NA is not so bad but when you move to a power adder combo ... you got more things to deal with.

Just some things I've seen for you to think about

:Word:

Even on NA H/C/I cars there's stuff to contend with. Valve cover oil fill and the stupid intake tube, spacer for the alternator upper mount bolt when using Fox valve covers. I had to fight with stuff I had even thought of. The end result made it all worth it, but not much of the whole deal was easy. Just my $.02

Ive done all the work on my car. But im just to the point now where im tired of trying to fix these same problems and I have a feeling there going to come back.
I understand what your saying though. Its just things I have to think about

I $$ is that tight, take off the powerdyne, and then put the $$ into getting the car solid. Too many guys put the money into where it is good but exacerbates the weak points of the car. Put the $$ into brakes, suspension, chassis, interior rattles, anything that you notice now. Make it a solid car. Then start with the power adders.
