Powerdyne Dyno numbers and continuing frustration

[1995MGTS]

FASTFRANK,

If you can get a good dyno tuner to work your combo, you should be over 400 rwhp and torque. If I can get to 6200rpm, I should be slightly over that mark. My tuner did an excellent job of getting max power safely. With your mods and a 9lb Powerdyne, you should be besting my numbers.

DaveR_GT,

I hear man. Nice car by the way. To be honest, I only bought the Powerdyne because of the good deal I got on it from a Ford Motorsport Dealer. I got it for $1800 + tax brand new. The majority of guys in my car club had Vortechs and a few with Novi's. I was the only one with a Powerdyne so I was the outcast. That's okay, since I was bettering the numbers of several guys with A-trims. However, modded cars with S-trims, no way. I never thought I would have almost 400rwhp from a 6lb Powerdyne after hearing all the horror stories.

My next mod will be the new PD gear driven XB-1. The guy before me on the dyno actually had one and our power/tq curves were almost the same. I don't think his car was tuned though. Just bolted on and was looking at his before tune numbers. His dyno was 386/396 at the wheels. I assume he will not only be well into the 400+rwhp/tq range, but his gear driven blower will last longer than our belt-driven versions.
