Same seller as this listing. Explain you have a mp112 for a ctsv and it uses a Tvs style hub and you would like a 2.6 in one.

That said I haven't gotten it yet and I ordered on the 26th. Of course It looks like a small outfit so I'm not to worried.

The cam specs are a 234/242 .598/.621 112lsa. Pretty big and sucks now that it's just a cammed ls6. But worked great with the Maggie.

I know there is only a few of you guys out there, but I have a couple things I wana do after I get these lifters replaced.
The last things I really wana do to my car are meth and a smaller pulley for the supercharger (MP112)
My tuner says he doesnt really tune for meth(not that he doesnt know how)BUT, He's gonna leave the tune how it already is, but tune the meth in a different "table" I guess. So if my system goes down, it will run how it did without the meth
My question is. What size pulley should I get for my supercharger?
And also, what is the factor for how much RWHP you will gain with each pound of boost?

I ran a 2.7 + 8 rib OD dampner + ECS tensioner + Gates green belts on my old maggie. Didn't slip but then it wasn't exactly cheap either. At least it stopped shredding through belts.

I don't have the time or the desire to get into this again, my point (as it always has been) is that a cam with overlap will make more power than a cam with negative overlap (emission's compliance notwithstanding, of course), especially on a roots blower.

Some of you guys know better than I do, but this is my opinion on the matter. I don't think you can really tune in a safety measure for a meth failure on a Maggied car. On centri/turbo your meth and IAT sensor are after the compressor. The IAT temp drop with meth is HUGE compared to our setups.
At what temp do you set your failsafe on our cars? Say meth keeps you below 130* and you set your adders at 140*. If my meth goes out on a cold day, no way I'm reaching 140* even without it.
My solution is that my Aeroforce gauge is set to light up at 2* of KR. That's the best I can think of, but I'm not the smartest guy on here.
I got my old style 2.6" pulley from pulleyboys. No slip, and wintertime boost was hitting 10 psi with just highflow cats. Cam/headers would see less boost (restriction).
After a few months I started getting belt problems and decided to upgrade the tensioner. No problems since then.
Got it from David at Magnuson for a little over $100
I should note that the belt problems weren't necessarily due to the smaller pulley. Started getting belt walk and noticed my gates belt stretched out a couple inches. So I installed the belt that came with the Maggie and everything was fine,,,,,,until I shredded it by letting it rub against a clamp bolt. Then I kept having problems with new belts and figured the tensioner wasn't doing up to the task anymore.

Oh, and as for the Meth kit. I don't think you need to go crazy with the expensive controllers. With the Maggie, boost jump up so fast it's like an on/off switch anyway. I say get a quality pump, make sure your wireing/hose routing is spot on and control the amount of meth with nozzle size. I use my smaller nozzle at full psi so the fluid atomizes better. This helps your fueling and is easier on the rotors.
This all makes sense to me, but let me know what you guys think.

I wish we could see a much larger temperature drop because I am confident the IAT sensor is reading quickly enough to allow a benefit.

The thing is that if you are on the ragged edge. (Tune leaned out for meth and timing dependent on meth spraying) then neither KR or an AFR gauge are going to save you in the event of sudden stoppage while WOT.
The key is to push it just a bit so if meth were to stop spraying you can tell and back off. Push it too far and there isn't a back off point available...
