Supercharged V6 Tuning Tips
(1) Use a V8 Throttle Body, Flometrics 48mm (50mm if running 9# boost), or APS 50mm modified throttle
body (preferably with V8 cable as well for ease of installation)
(2) 3923 Spark Plugs
(3) A good ignition coil
(4) 180 Degree T'Stat
(5) Boost Bypass Valve (not the MAP/Boost Bypass Valve) REQUIRED for anything at 9# or above (also
helps with 6# but not really required)
(6) Ford Motorsport – FV-140 PCV Valve
(7) Headers (recommended but not required unless you plan on higher boost levels - 9# really wakes up the
V6 and they don't blow head gaskets like the 5.2/5.9's)
(8) Get rid of the Powerdyne Filter...it only flows 339CFM and the blower flows 850CFM @ 6#. The S&B
Filters (or K&N) 6"x9" Cones fit perfectly but you will have to build a small bracket to hold the filter
steady (this goes for the V8 folks as well...Powerdyne has been made aware of this it's with R&D right
now.)
The SuperChips ICON allows you to custom program your timing curve in 400rpm increments (+/- 20
degrees at each increment starting at 1600rpm and up to 7000rpm). We're not running BTM at all on our
V6 Truck...just the MSD Digital-6+ (Rev limiter set at 5500rpm) and the SuperChips box...and we just
installed a custom built Billet Pulley from Worldwide Performance Parts (11#) for testing...no pinging with
Super Unleaded and a bottle of ProBlend "Nitro Power".
We set the timing curve right at the detonation point, back it off .5 degrees across the board, and add a
bottle of ProBlend. Runs VERY well and is real "peppy" across the board.
If you're running an IAT Adjuster, set it at 70-60 degrees but no colder on the S/C'd V6. The FMU
compensates for the boost and the factory injectors will keep up with the added fuel from the FMU. At 9#
or higher, you'll need to swap out to the FMS 24#...and they don't run rich at idle on the V6's at all.
The diagram for the MAP/Boost Bypass Valve setup is here: MAP/Boost Bypass System You can use the
FMU line to tap into but with 9# or higher, move the line to a different vacuum source.
I want more boost out of my Powerdyne Supercharger
(1) Replace the inefficient air filter that comes with the kit (It only flow 339CFM according to K&N - The
Powerdyne puts out 850CFM @ 6# Boost)
(2) ATI, Paxton, K&N, and a few other companies make aftermarket air hats for the 5 1/8" opening of the
Dodge Throttle Body. These are all metal and can withstand much more than 10# boost...unlike the factory
Dodge Air Hat which comes apart with 9# or more boost.
(3) If you're really wanting a lot of boost, grab a spare alternator pulley, cut a keyway groove on the inner
hole (to match the grove depth on the Powerdyne Pulley), and install it. The factory Alternator pulley
makes 13# boost!! WARNING - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...You WILL void the warranty on the
Supercharger and risk damaging your engine unless it's built for this type of boost level (Pistons,
Crank, Rods, O-Rings Head/Block Surface).
