Project SuperAvalanche

[rdgr8r]

We are currently supercharging a customer's 07 Chevrolet Avalanche with a Prodyne supercharger....my boss is a powerdyne dealer at his hot rod shop Rods n Perfromance...this shit is actually pretty quick now....est. 425 hp....i'll post finished shots tomorrow84

where do you work?

[ZNA03]

425hp in that thing should be good for like what mid/high 14's? :rotf:

Very pour choice in blower.Expect to see like 8#'s max before you start having problems with that blower . Shoulda went procharger .

I wonder if there might be an issue with it being a different motor from the 06's and possibly the procharger wasn't out yet.

I know the new motors are the displacement on demand one (where they switch from 8 cyl to 4 cyl to save gas) so maybe their still in development or this is a 100% custom set-up :dunno:

That would make that truck a fun daily driver. Anybody seen the procharger T/A that claims to be the worlds fastest LS1?

[ZNA03]

^ Nope...

That would be a fun daily driver your correct... having an avalanche that can shit on 90% of the SUV's out there and a lot of other cars would definitly be worth the pricetag IMO.

Plus i love the new avalanches... but i'd rather do that boosting to a new EXT ;)

this one is a regular motor except for no throttle cables only diiferance since 05 or 04.....i gotta brain fart

I'am not trying to get into a pissing match , But as far as Iknow powerdyne doesn't make a roots style blower .Also my .02 powerdynes are garbage , here in a couple of day I's post some reviews from another site , sure there will be mixed reviews . I say 90% bad 10% good .That blower wont like anything over 8#'s of boost and if its a xb1a it could see up to 12#'s and thats comming from someone besides me that knows ppl who used them.

myboss deals in powerdyne superchargers so i' don't think they make one.......i know they do....no arguements on my part about that....plus powerdynes are made to mix with a stock mototr so you don't f it up

[rdgr8r]

how powerdynes have you installed? the hot rod shop that my boss runs only uses powerdynes(1-3 a month). a small amout have come back but not bc of the supercharger. most of your powerdynes only are meant to run 8-9 psi. they make more powerful 'chargers but only on request. let me say this again i don't think powerdyne is the best thing out there..i'm just sayin we have good luck with them and for us the do the trick... :sheep:

[NomaOnAir]

How super charges have I installed ?

2-1 Vortech/1 procharger

2- helped build 2 turbo kits .


ED

[rdgr8r]

i'm not discrediting your work just sayin don't say powerdynes are srap if you've never put one in....cause unless you instal the charger system yourself you won't know how the car/truck runs...thats it

[DustT31]

ill settle this. give me a powerdyne and a procharger/vortech and ill compare them for you on my 396 :D
