Default Need Help on Powerdyne kit

I just bought the powerdyne kit. I was reading somewhere, It is not recomended to use the FMU. Is this True? If so is there something that I need to get to replace that? Also if I upgrade to a 12 PSI pulley what needs to be upgraded?

I ran the FMU with my PD kit with no problems. Fuel delivery was always perfect.
Whats needed to get 12psi? An ATI kit or Vortech, or a turbo. With the PD you are limited with the stock 6psi pulley. The 6psi pulley @3.4 inches and is damn near over spinning at 6200 engine rpm. You can go down to a custom 2.90 inch pulley with no internal belt issues and be overspinning it by a lilttle. PM a board member JRIOS on his PD Set up.
Hoped that helped a liittle.

thanks I could have sworn that I saw somebody post about not using the FMU though. They make a 12 psi pulley now I am not sure if what you are saying is that I will have slippage and it be worthless to go with that size or not but thanks

only way your going to get 12psi is with the XB1-A
did they finally make a ls1 kit for that blower?

to my current knowledge only the bd-11a is available. 8psi with a 2.9" custom pulley.
