which site do i go to after that tho?

Basically, I'd first try one of the local distributors listed and call them. They probably wont have it in stock but see how much it is for a special order. Then try another place - shop around until you find the best deal.

I think the powderdyne units still use a dry ceramic "self lube" bearing.

All I have heard is change the word "lube" to "destruct" ^^^^^^

A quick site search of
" powerdyne bearings" yielded the above results

search "powerdyne" for even more to read

Vortech used to have them for the Bronco and other application.Not sure if they still do though.

I installed a powerdyne on my 96 v8 back in 99. The truck made decent power. Powerdynes are belt driven internally and therefore do not make the kind of power a gear driven blower can.... but for an explorer its fine. I just talked to the guy the other day that bought my truck and its still running strong. Im about to buy another 5.0 explorer and if i ran across a cheap used powerdyne for sale, i would be interested in installing another.

Powerdyne was bought by 02 Force.

I had my Powerdyne rebuilt by Todd at superchargers and he upgraded it and it has been working great!

There are many upgrades to a Powerdyne that will give you a decent power upgrade.
