They do a lot of corvette stuff. I'm Waiting to here form them befor I place an order. As I Perfer to have an innercooler.
Thanks for info so far I'll post what I find out incase anyone else is looking.

Honestly, if that Powerdyne is'nt the XB-1A head unit then I wouldn't even mess with it. If you're going to get a centrif, then I would recommend the SQ over the XB-1A. It pushes more CFM's at a lower discharge temp, and there is more room for growth should you decide to get a little wild with it. Here is a link to a host of Vortech models for the modular trucks:

Whichever way you plan to go, just be sure you have the proper fuel system and ignition upgrades to support the boost level. These components will help to ensure a longer engine life with the blower.
I'm running a Vortech SQ with a Powerstroke Diesel Intercooler on my 94 Lightning. I picked the intercooler up off of Ebay for $140 shipped to my door, but they can be purchased for around $200 all day on there...still well worth the money. It took a little work to get it to fit, but I think the install would be easier on a modular truck being that the holes for the inlet/discharge ports as well as the mounting holes should already be there.

Actually, and intercooler might not be necessary. It depends on a lot of factors, but I've built several turbocharged vehicles over the years (and now building a twin-turbo F350 crewcab), and sometimes it was necessary, sometimes not.
An air to air intercooler is really only effective if it has airflow, meaning that you're roaring down the highway (or dragstrip). At some point, the intercooler can get hot enough that it becomes heat-soaked, and essentially useless. In fact, sometimes they become so heat soaked they continue to heat the air as the boost drops and you slow down. Thus sometimes teasingly called an "interheater".
I have a powerstroke intercooler for my F350, however I'm not going to be plumbing it in at first. I might down the road if I find it will benefit what I'm doing, but initially I'll skip the complex plumbing hassle to try and see. I built a twin-turbo 75 Dodge D200 extended cab a few years ago, with a 451cid stroker, and it never needed intercooling at all. The engine was built with a 8:1 c/r and I didn't go insane with the boost. This time around, for the F350, building it to a 7:1 c/r and might have some fun with the boost, in small experimental increments.
The higher your C/R, the more you need some kind of intercooling, generally speaking.
