Lookin good Kyle
I would say thats about 17 and where mine is at too, I can go farther on tension but wanted to see what it would do inbetween 15-20 on the tensioner.
Here is a pic of how mine looks, they are almost identical lol.

I have been low on cash due to "stuff" but I still need to get the new file uploaded and to get it on the dyno or track, I think I will just be hitting the track as I have the wideband hooked up now and I can get my AFR at WOT going down the 1320
As for how much boost i've seen thats a toss up, I installed that Nordskog boost gauge and it is lazy at reading the boost, **** my digital FP gauge starts rising(going up) a lot faster than this digital boost gauge and by going off the FP gauge I am seeing 12psi now( base fp is 48 and raises up to 60 at WOT) Digital boost gauge only shows 8psi
Here is a video of the car at the track week before last, I got my MPH back by lowering the FP to 48psi. This car needs to be leaned out A LOT.

Verdad Gallardo Macs and Magnaflow....the magnaflow is a recent mod, I had to get rid of my beloved loudmouth
It got too loud even for me:old:
Yeah the tranny is giving me problems. I am going to drain it and put a fresh filter in and carefully fill it up and see if it still messes up. I don't have my DA from that night handy anymore, but the 11.86 would be about a 10.9 I will get my 10's here though. The car did real good last week, low 1/8 times for the two times I ran, one 7.48 and a 7.50 but I had lift before the 1/8 on the 7.50 pass to get the car back under me, it was doing a funky wiggle down the track. That pass was an easy 7.20 in the 1/8.
Its all in the tune now...lean this bitch out and get the timing right and it will be there.

Yea, I'm most likely going to order it in the next couple days, I'm going to call SDCE and see what they will sell me one for, and also see how long it takes to get made, or I will go to RR and get their 3.2" for $160 and get it in a few days, I'll also have to order a 51.5" belt.......
I just wish the FMIC was here already.......

Good to hear, I think they have it setup to get me in as soon as the FMIC arrives....
I'm going to order a 3.2" and the belt soon, first is getting 3 more dowels machined into the crank pulley though, its moved over 1" now

Damn i dont understand why yours moves and ours do not..... are you using a brand new crank bolt?? Im going to order a new crank bolt and rubber piece (the one between my 85mm MAF and Plenum) from ATI on the 1st and ill order that Gatorback belt to fit the 3.4" pulley..... i should see 10-11 psi like you and ill be happy with that until i save the cash up for the FMIC..... ran into a couple bills and another goal...... ill PM you about it.

I'm going to have either sikora or Speed Inc. do the deal w/the crank pulley, I'll have 3 more dowels machined in....or tapped in, whatever to prevent it from going, I don't think I'll be driving the car anymore until I get this done because its getting close to the point to where they are going to get sheered off the next time I let off real hard...
