i have a 98 5.2 5speed, and here are the pro's and cons.
PRO- its verry easy to install
PRO- its cheap
CON- its cheap because it dosent come with everything you should have.
if you ONLY want to run the 6# pulley it comes with, you will need at the verry least a ignition that will allow you to retard the timing. most PD users, including myself, are using the MSD 6BTM
i would also recomend getting a aluminum type of airhat. at 6# i blew up 2 of the stock plastic POS that PD expects you to use.
there are a lot of little things that i didnt like about the kit when i bought it, but i have taken care of each issue, and im verry happy with it.
i got mine used for a good price and i can say, if you can find a good used one, buy it. if you are buying a new one, go with a vortech. by the time you buy eveything for the PD, you would have spent the same amout on the better blower (vortech)
if you are planning on running 9#+ of boost, let me know, and ill tell you what else you will need

I agree with Eric. I work at a speed shop so I got a real good deal on a new one. You will need a MSD BTM or other that pulls timing, some autolite 3923s and an airhat of some kind. If you get the ATI hat your going to need a 1 inch spacer to clear the linkage. Also make sure you have taken care of the bellypan gasket, if you haven't you will real soon after install. Either get the M-1 or a billet pan with the updated gaskets.

Besides what's listed, I have FMS 24lb. injectors, A ported T-body 50mm, 180 T-stat, and that's it. I do have a by-pass valve and a large Kirban Filter on the blower. Here are some pics.

Lew,
I noticed that you have an IAT adjuster, what do you think? Does it really work? I ask because I purchased one over a year ago and never installed it. The adjuster is still in the plastic, but with everything that happened with Speedtweaks, I don't want to waste my time with it if it's junk.

no, im running 91 octain. i put the pulley on, and the belt was slipping, and i was only seeing 7#'s
so this moring, i modified my auxilary tencioner that i built, and it took care of my problem.
i got 9-10#'s at about 4700rpm, on the test drive. i was pulling 2degrees of timing per 1# of boost, and i couldnt hear any detonation.
im going to the 1/8 track on thursday night, and will see how much timing i can pull out of it.

Eric,
Just remember not all detonation is audible to our ears, just cause you can't hear it doesn't mean it's not happening. Ever thought about getting a knock sensor or two (one of each side) with an auto retard feature?
I've been thinking about one for the my future NX system. I think I saw one advertised on Hughes' website. Too bad our trucks (5.2&5.9)don't come with one from the factor, most cars & trucks do these days. I think the 4.7s come with one sensor and the HO 4.7s come with two.
