Default PowerDyne question

There is a Powerdyne supercharger for sale on ebay that the guy lists for a vette. The manual says it is for a 1994-1996 Z28 Camaro.
Can this be made to fit a vette?

the problem could be finding a braket to fit your corvette.......check that first............the secount is a power dyne supercharger is internally driven by a belt with restricts the amount of of speed or impeller pressure before it starts slipping.......thus restrictiong the amount of boost it is capable of delivering to you engine.......personally I would go with a geardrivin supercharger.....way bigger that you think you want at this time.............then in the future and you want more boost you just add a smaller pulley..............you can't do that with a powerdyne...............5 or 6 psi is all your going to get with a stock 350

On a vortech kit, the blower is on the oposite side of the motor (passenger side on vette) and requires a reverse rotation blower. I may be wrong, but I dont believe anything, accessory drive wise, will interchange between the vette and camaro.

Poor design supercharger. No external oiling ffor the bearings. They are lubricated at the bearing factory, and thats it. If you overspin the charger, and the bearing temp. goes above about 250 degrees, the oil comes out and the bearings will lockup.
Secondly, is Powerdyne still in business?
