Either one of them will do the job.
Better to ask around in the forced induction section though.

Personally, I would go with Vortech or ATI. Powerdyne is GA'BAGE.

And definately talk to CM. They are the shizzy for boost dude.

ATI has my vote...

There was a nice comparison test between the three SC at the same level of boost. It seems that ATI procharger looks better in numbers.

I have a friend that has a PowerDyne on his 95Z and he has nothing but trouble with it.

I've has a powerdyne on my car for years and so far no troubles - except tire spin

but if you want a blower that is upgradable - go with a vortech - the PD ones have a limit of 6-7# of boost, on the plus side they are a lot cheaper and very easy to install and quiet.

It all depends on what your goals are down the road. I would recommend going with either a ATI P1SC or a Vortech S-trim. Both these systems work great because they allow for boost upgrades in the future. But be warned that a stock bottom end does not like boost.

Powerdyne doesn't really compare to the bigger guys.

Its fine for an entry level blower but if you can afford an ATI that would be your best bet if you're spending cash.

Vortech. The ATI compressors aren't very impressive until you get beyond the D1.

Powerdyne is not something I'd reccommend unless you got an absolutely screaming deal on one.
