Default Thinking of a power adder.

I was thinking of putting a powerdyne 6pd. charger on my car. I have an 02 hawk with most bolt ons.. Whould i need to upgrade anything, if so what. And please give thought about powerdyne. Do chargers hurt your car in the long run. Thanks..

if i was going to put charger on your car id go all out and get an ATI, i dont think you need FI unless you goals are over 500rwhp.
I dont think a pdyne is worth it, thats just my opinoin, But Blackbird here is making decent power from his alki cooled powerdyne.

I would tend to agree. 450 is the most your gonna see with a PD.

If your goal is more than that step up to an ATI or Vortech.

If your not looking to get super wacky then if you can find a used powerdyne it's not a bad way to go.
