PIc's For You Guys
Trust me I could push it 3 blocks from here and they would still hear it, the car is freakin loud its something you have to expirence.....with that being said.....I washed it up and checked things out once again before taking it out. I had to wait another hour but it was worth it
I got on the freeway and punched it to see if the belt would slip, no slip and away we went, I had to get off it right away because I caught up to traffic but I pushed the memory button on my digital boost gauge and bam 10.5psi showed up
I then got off the freeway, and got right back on it, I punched it at the bottom of third and let her eat for a sec or two before I let off, pushed the memory button again, 13psi
I am getting nowhere near my redline of 7100rpm, and I doubt I rev'ed higher than 62-6400rpm in third on the last run(was keeping an eye on my FP gauge)
So things are looking good so far
I will be putting it up in the air now to check things out, and look for belt dust on the stand offs and to see if anything else needs attention.
Just hope it keeps working this good

I think that 3.2 will be plenty I am sure you will see more than 15psi with it, how high do you plan on spinning it again?
And whats up with these short posts? I guess its kind of hard to be excited about this with all the crap me and you have been through in our pursuit of MEGA BOOST

The 3.2 on the blower pulley should max out the D-1SC, thats what Scott told me, so we will see.......
I got a tiny cam, so I'll probably spin it to 6500 either way........
Jer, I'll work on some mega posts related to our mega boost, just wait until I get my setup working, that will be a BOOK of info
These little intercoolers are going to be holding us back for sure though

Verdad Gallardo I just hope you don't run into anymore snags. 3.2 I should have got a 3.4 or a 3.6 but I'll see what this 3.7 will do at the track and with more RPM's
I want to also hit the dyno this week too.

Should make some good #'s, Kyle what blower pulley are you using?
I'm thinking I'll see 15-16psi at 6500 rpms w/the 3.2", that should be good for 625-650rwhp with the twin intercooler setup

I have the 3.7" pulley just like Jer. I am thinking we might see a little less with a bigger motor. Im not worried though....... Hopefully SD can get be a new spring tensioner out today and 1 day air it so i will be able to put it on tomorrow night. We will see.

Thanks to [sarcasm]GM's committment to high quality control[/sarcasm] the day of the bolt on kit, at least for us FI guys, is gone.

With all the problems we've had with these kits seems kind of a waste to skimp on the $90 balencer and risk the chance of alignment issues.
Just my $0.02. But I was told that they wouldn't seel them without a new balencer that Scott would personally align at his shop with the very kit you receive in the mail.

I am going to put it to the test on friday at the track, now if the belt makes it past the 2-3 shift I'll be happy, if it makes more than 8.5psi(damn cogs) I'll be even more happy, IF it makes it through the burn out, Launch, 1-2, 2-3 making 14+psi and gets me a 10sec pass up here at 5600ft(DA usually in the 7000's) I will be freakin PSYCHOTIC and probably kill the dude at the time slip booth out of SHEER insanity that the damn thing worked like it is suppose too
Keep those credit cards in the wallet until the track testing. I will be taking her out for more street testing, but first I am going to retension the belt again just for ***** and giggles. I don't want the belt to ever slip again.
