need some help here I have been doing research and planned out buying a h&c setup, but I see beefcopter has a 6lb powerdyne for sale cheaper than the h&c would be. Granted the pd is not new like the h&c, but it's a good bit less than the setup I've got priced out now. I looked through the past posts, and it looks like the pd kit definitely has it's share of headaches. I've read there is a lot of tuning that needs to be done, which shouldn't be a problem since I'm going to get ls1edit regardless of what I get. I've also read that there are some issues with the ps cooler I've got. I'm not crazy about tapping the oil pan, cuz I don't know how to do that, but I've got a few people locally that could show me that.
Right now with the tnt kit, I've put down 415/490 on the dyno, but I've only been to the track with it once so I've only got a 12.8@112 to show for the lack experience on that. I know some people would say to just keep the nitrous and get the h&c, which would be good and all. It would make a lot of power(if I could keep it together), but I'm not exceptionaly fond of nitrous now. It's hard to manage it when it kicks in at once(progressive controller would fix that, but that's a big chunk of change). I'm not real happy with having to keep filling the bottle, I made 3 passes with the 100 jets in on a full 10lb bottle and even with the heater running on it all night, it started losing pressure and the 4th run was pretty crappy at like 800-900 psi. And having to wait for the heater to get the pressure up is real annoying( only happens for half the year though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ). Then there's the opening the bottle when I want to use it, another nice trait.
What are your opinions?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I'm stuck.

Re: need some help here I've heard theres over heating problems with the PD blowers. They might have fixed that though. I probably would go heads and cam. Cause its easyer to do it now and buy a blower ltr
But I dont think 600rwhp is enough <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> . Plus they would mostlikely go down in price.
