I have been looking at all the available supercharger systems when I came across this setup. Did some searching but can't seem to find out any more info than what is on their website.

http://www.dyno-proven.com/coolcharger.htm

Looks like it uses a powerdyne type unit, but the rest of the setup looks factory like. A 500HP+ bolt on setup??

Has anyone got one of these?

I think one would be lucky to get 75 rwhp out of it. Better to spend the extra money and go with a proven kit.

Hmmm, I figured if they can offer a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty (correct me if I am wrong, but none of the 'proven kits' offer 4 years, do they?) and 99% of their authorised distributors are GM dealers, than maybe they have a slight idea of what they are doing.............of course I could be wrong..................hopefully someone here actually has had some experience with one of these............

ya thats a powedyne kit you would be lucky to make 75-100 hp for about 2 weeks befor the internal belt snaps.and ya 4 year warenty is good but not when your sending your head unit back every 3 months.they did that with ford motorsports kit also.its justa powerdyne kit..go with procharger or votech for supers.

OK, so in that case I take it you guys don't think much of powerdynes either?
Can I ask why?
If these SC only make 75 - 100 rwhp, what can I expect from a vortec/procharger?

Thanx, Eug
