Put everything together (blower,turbo,nitrous,NA)..
Start it up...
Let it get to operating temps...
Slight revs of the throttle (if tune allows)
Drain oil..
Check (cut open) oil filter for any metal...
Fill with new oil and filter..
OFF TO THE DYNO!!!

Well mines going to be all together with a safe startup tune run it to make sure no leaks or noises then it's going right on the dyno then right to the track just like mike at AES said I should do.

I'm throwing around the idea of a smaller pulley right now. But also thinking when I return from a deployment in Jan 0f 2014 I might upgrade to a 4L80E with trans brake and a F series Procharger. But the car is Stupid fast right now!

What kind of front mount do you have and what size of pulley you running. I got a 3.4 that I'm going to install if I don't get the F1-a I'm hoping for 15 lbs.

I believe it's just an ebay one, Godspeed. I'm currently running a 3.55 pulley and seeing 13psi. But, I noticed lastnight, (thanks to a security guard needing to do a random inspection), that my accessory belt was missing a rib(outboard) and walking off the crank pulley, power stearing, and idler. So we line it up, stop get a new one on the way home. Get home, think this will be easy, Bull crap! I get under and inspecting how to swap the belts and notice my Procharger belt is missing a rib (2nd from the front), along with belt dust everywhere.

SO I've got a new belt on order for the procharger. I see an aster bracket in my future, maybe sooner than later. SO 13psi maybe all I'm seeing due to belt slip.

Haven't been to the track yet. I had to upgrade the cooling fans. Just took the car on a trip down to TX then over to AL and back to IL. That and driving around IL. A few max effort pulls here and there. Planning on track when I get back a few weeks.

What front mount kit is that? I'm looking to upgrade mine and go with a larger core for my new F1R combo. Sounds like there's a few nice street combos almost ready!!
