Is it possible to put the 9lb or 6lb powerdine on my stock engine or will it kill it ??? If so what kind of power do you think i will be making at the wills???

How many miles are on your engine? Depending on that, both should be ok, methinks. The 6lb. will make <horrible_guess_mode> 300hp and the 9lb. 350 </horrible_guess_mode>. There are a bunch of s/c guys here that can tell you a lot better than me, though.

I have a 6lbs PowerDyne and I dynoed with 266.5 hp and 352.2 Tourque. It was a big jump in power.

And a Small Blow Job

Hey Joey, the engine should be okay as long as it isn't consuming much oil and blow-by hasn't become prevalent. If you're using more than a quart every 500 miles or so, then maybe the engine isn't ready. If there's any question, I'd suggest having a shop do a leak down test to determine the condition of the rings and valve seals.

I'd also recommend 1 range colder spark plugs, and new ignition components and fuel filter. You may need a bigger radiator depending on the climate you live in.

Good Luck!

It won't kill your engine. My engine has 120,000 miles on it and it can hang with my 6# powerdyne. The power gain is pretty substantial by the seat of your pants feel. I don't have any dyno time, but I did run my car without the blower 15.77 at 87mph. Within the next month I'm going to make a run with the blower. I'm projecting a 14.70 -14.80 at around 96-97mph. If that seems slow it's because the track is crappy and it's 3000ft altitude. If you haven't already bought the powerdyne, buy a Vortech instead. It's alot more reliable for the same price. The internal belts have a tendency break after a while, although it is easy to change.But if you want stealth, nothing beats a powerdyne because you can barely hear it.
