hey dude, i see you have a powerdyne SC on your 5.2. just wanted to know did you install it your self, if so was it hard?
was it worth the money?
did you have any problems with it?
how did it effect gas miledge?
did the 10 psi pulley come with the kit?
did you upgrade your injectors?

sorry for all the Q's but i think i might buy one. and dont want to throw 2-3K down the drain thanks

Yes it is worth it. The install was a breeze, though I HAVE NOT put the fuel pump and FMU on the truck. This is because I do have the 24# injector's and a Leach PCM for the blower. I need to get the truck on a dyno to get a truly accurate picture of the A/F and see if I really need the pump that comes with the kit. It came with a 6PSI pulley, you can get the 9-10PSI from Randy at worldwideperformance.com.

If your going this route I would get a 52MM TB, headers, and a catback. Otherwise I don't think you would get the full benefit from the SC.

The following is what I ended up doing after I got the performance bug:

98 5.2L 4x4 CC
52mm Flow Metric's TB
Cold Air Intake
DynoMax dual Catback
JBA Ceramic Headers
PowerDyne @ 10PSI (Everything but FMU and Fuel pump done!!!)
Custom Pop off (Air release) for the Supercharger (Here but needs to be installed and documented)
Custom PCM Blower Flash
24# SVO matched Injectors
1.7 Crower RR's
Mopar Valve Covers
Mopar Chromoly Pushrods
Mopar Heavy Duty Springs/Retainers
Autolite 3923's (soon to be 3922's)
MSD6BTM (On the back burner, still deciding)
MSD SS Coil (Here but not installed yet)
MSD 8.5mm Wires
Electric Fan (Ditched the Clutch Fan)
Bernd's IAT Adjuster
4.10 Front/Rear Diff's (Ordered)
Auburn Suregrip (Ordered)

Not yet, I put the 6#er back on because I'm going on a trip to 10,000 acres of farm land and don't need the boost (or any problems) in the woods for 5 days.

I'll know highway miles with the 6#er and 3.55 gears after this trip. I'm around 13-14MPG on the hwy I believe.
