If anyone can help, please post a message.
Thanks,

I had a 6 Psi Power Dyne Super charger Original for My 91 5.0 when it was stil a 5.0 Not convertated to the 5.7L. Anyway With very little Hard work On My Part I Had this Hooked up to my 2000 3.8L V-6 and was turning a full 273 HP at 5,500. Verse the Stock 190 Hp I think Anyway Other then the Blower Kit I have made No Mods to it which means On its Bone stock 15" rims and stock rear end I have to start In 2nd and come off gently on the clutch or I will Torch My Tires Power Slide Like this is a Bad thig? Its Not Unless the Cops see her Butt side ways

Point? Look for a used Blower with your stock pistons and rings 6 to 8 psi wouldnt blow a Piston and would be fine on Pump Gas.
