Richard, would you care to explain exactly how that works?

 

Jim your cool as hell man!!! Youve got a truck that has all the right mods and looks, we would never know your age by judging these things haha!!!


Im curious if your physically able to fit a smaller pulley on the snout also, I see a 2.8 in your sig, i run a 2.65 from south florida pulley, so there is one option for you.

I also run an IW od crank pulley, along with the 2.65 and see a steady 12 psi with spikes up to 13-14ish. I wish too i could up the boost to like 15-16 but i just dont see how i can spin my blower any faster. I dont think its possible to see 15+ on your setup but if ya could more power to you !!

Roger is on the right track, open up your J tube, and custom 4'' intake with a speed density tune and it will net you more power.


Also if you can run E-85 that is a guaranteed 50 rwhp on the dyno and will be cooler fuel for your blower. Wish i had some, but you will need larger injectors possibly.
Keep us posted man!!

 

And he says the electrical engineers use black magic and voodoo lol

 

I'd like to get that pulley from you and/or hear what you have to tell. Maybe pm me?.

Quite a while back I installed the larger idler pulleys so that really helped get me increased belt wrap.

.I love the 4" inlet tube idea and I already built a new air box, not the one in the photo.. but an enclosed one, that gets great flow from the front and bottom of the truck. What materials would I use for the 4"tube and where can I get them?

The 2 bar tuning is greek to me man. My understanding of tuning in general is very primitive and minimal. I'd have to go to school on that stuff and/or have somebody do it for me so no we're now back to the problem I've always had since I started this build... i.e. there's nobody around this area, that I know of, that can do that stuff for me or give me hands on schooling on it. I'm old and I'm old school and I have a really hard time getting the computer stuff in my head. That is definitely my weak point. I can't seem to "get it" without having it fed to me, from the beginning, one little piece at a time.

What I need is face to face tuning tutoring.

 

I have a 2.6 pulley I am not using. It does get hot in the 1/4 mile with the stock intercooler. I will add to this post in a bit with some pics of how to help the slip problem.

 

I plug in some numbers to a spreadsheet I acquired back in my supercharger days. The pulley diameter needed for a certain boost level turns out to be a ratio of the blower volumetric flow rate to the engine volumetric flow rate.

 

I only get on it for short bursts so heat shouldn't be a problem.. and if it is I have a larger tank I can use for the intercooler. Please send me a pm with a price for the 2.6. I have oversized idler pulleys installed so I get good belt wrap.

 

Here is what I did to help with belt wrap. I bought an idler off of EBay for $9 (I think), and mounted it in the bracket supporting the snout.

 

Atomic, please reread your post (quoted above) very carefully, paying special attention to the numbers. I believe you will discover an error, which AKlowriderZ71 attempted to point out.
