Not really much of a combo left to talk about I guess. It's got a F1A with about 6 to 7 PSI. Twin intercooled. I picked it up and drove 150+ miles with none of the gauges changing. Temp was 210. 40 on oil pressure. 20 on vacuum. 60 on the fuel. The voltage did go down all the way to 032. No clue what that means. Dyno sheet I got said it had 509 at the wheels on 10 PSI.

Thanks alot Bob that's the stuff I wanted to hear. I will definetly monitor for that. Silly question but how would I turn up the boost on it. It's got a five inch pulley I believe which i was told is the biggest one to put on it.

Other then pulling that procharger off and installing a turbo...sarcasm!!! Make sure you pay attention to the wideband when racing or making some pulls. This helps to make sure everything is up to par.

Lol. Sux cause no one close to me runs prochargers so there no one I could talk to about this stuff. Wideband? Is that the scanmaster, what is bad are the danger areas. Was thinking about getting a air fuel ratio gauge. Should I. Also the car is tuned for the smaller pulley but I have been using the bigger one. Should I change that?

You think I need to retune it for the lower psi? Just noticed the is alot of belt dust on the head unit. Belt feels really loose. How do I know when the belt is tight enough. Think I am going to replace the belt.

AEM UEGO here as well. You should run a wideband and a fuel pressure gauge at least. Those two gauges can save your ***...they've sure as hell saved mine a couple of times lol
As for air/fuel ratio gauges go, the standard air/fuel gauges that are around $50.00 or so are nothing more than a light show. The wide band that has been mentioned is an air/fuel gauge too, but it is the type that is needed to really tell where the air/fuel ratio is at. A wide band requires putting a bung into the header collector and installing the supplied wideband 02 sensor into the collector. Bob
