Depending on what you want it for, the Powerdyne, really is limited at around 6lbs from what I recall, it's also belt driven. Your really limited far as growth with that blower. If your set on a blower skip the powerdyne and pick up a used S trim or P1SC. H/C is a good choice, lot of pretty solid packages out there.

I had a Powerdyne on my bone stock Formula and it did 340rwhp/372rwtq on 4.5psi, Thats with no PCM tune at all. Switched to the 6psi pulley after that and felt a noticeable difference but did not dyno. Probably in the neighborhood of 370/395 after the dyno tune and 6psi. For $1300, its a very easy way to make HP.

I think they are great if you are not looking to grow and and make lots of HP.

powerdyne's are ok. Honestly I'd do a H&C package if I were you. I'm just not crazy about powerdynes personally.
