Well like i tell the woman who cleans my house and cooks my dinner (the wife )....."would you rather i was sitting at the bar or working on my truck?"

Hey coon, i was checking out your video's in your sig (Very cool). The one where you do your 0-60 run......it would be cool if you could video edit a kid kicking a ball into the street and chasing it, right about the time your hitting 75.

Funny you mention that...that recording is the 2nd one, as the 1st run I almost hit a doe! Glad I was looking up and not at the gauges, or else i would have some splainin' to do.

He said running 93/94 octane (which i do) and living at virtually sea level, i should not have any problems jumping to 7lbs of boost even without the intercooler. He said under most conditions you will only actually be into 7lbs of boost 5% of the time anyhow. So it looks like I had the install correct.....and Coon was right, that if i want boost sooner to grab the smaller pulley.
The guy at Whipple is correct. Don't touch the linkage. Adjust your actuator. Pop those bolts loose and adjust where it sits on that mount. Lightning guys have been doing it for awhile now. Trust me, it'll change where your boost comes on at. A smaller pulley is a fix, but not the ONLY fix.

Here's a link that might help you better understand what I'm saying.

Worst that can happen is you have to put it back the way it was.
