If you really want a blower, camp out on ebay frequently and search for available sueprcharger kits. I have seen used vortechs, prochargers, and radix kits go for $2,500-4,000. I bought my radix used over at silveradoss.com from another member for $3,200 with two pulleys, intercooler, and 2 gauges and pod. It only had 12,000 miles on it. Thats what I recommend. Just be prepared to make a quick decision because they go fast. And of course, be sensible and investigate enough to make sure its a good unit and the seller has good feedback/reputation. Good luck.

 

thanks for all the feedback I appreciate it. sounds like I should stay away from powerdyne....i'll have to start looking at some used kits.

 

Stay away. Been there done that. Mine was the BD11a or something. There is a used truck Radix for sale on another board for $3500 shipped. PM me if your interested and I will link you to it. It is for a 2003 too....
Nevermind. PM sent.

 

i think i am the only one that has had a good time with a powerdyne.
but i have done alot to it to upgrade it from stock and know a little more about it
then other do.

if you want to go the powerdyne route, i would have to say XB-1A kit.
or go with a procharger if you want that type of supercharger.
as for me, im looking at a used radix to go on my 5.7 build.

I installed a powerdyne for a customer of mine, on an ls1 camaro. The throttle response was too much for the little internal belt to handle. We replaced the belt twice and changed over to a procharger. I sold the powerdyne to a friend who put it on a tpi 350
in a s10 blazer and couldn't be happier. It accelerates slower rpm wise and has not had any problems. FWIW
