cheapest forced induction kit?
Re: cheapest forced induction kit? LOL better put that flame suit on! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Powerdyne is cheapest.
You get what you pay for.
IMHO, if you can't afford a rebuild, don't play with FI. And don't do an FI kit to 'just get your feet wet'. That's saying you don't want to spend the money to do it right. I still haven't decided if I want to go FI or not, but if I do, I'll probably rebuild the bottom end of the motor first (stock crank, forged pistons & nice rods, Katech main caps, head studs, and nice bolts throughout).
You can pick up a used Powerdyne system for $2000 or so, with probably another $1000 in expenses and you'll be running OK. But the performance isn't on par with the better FI kits, tho.
Remember, just my $.02. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Prepare you motor, drivetrain and rearend for it. Then get a nice setup, like an ATI blower for something. If you're not ready to jump all the way in, then don't even try, but I think it's safe to say the powerdyne would be the best way to go if you just want a small amount of performance on something that's safer then a turbo.

Re: cheapest forced induction kit? The PowerDyne kit isn't too bad a kit if your are willing to spruce it up a bit, and you can get some great power out of it. There's someone on LS1.com that put a water/alcohol injection system on his and he's getting great numbers with it, and there's another guy that has the twin intercoolers off an ATI and he's getting even better numbers. I've got a PowerDyne kit right now, but I'm building it up before the install (e.g., new intake, new fan shroud, water/alchy injection).
