You are correct that purchasing an 8-rib conversion retail would be expensive. I was able to buy a new ASP setup from a forum member for less than the cost of Fluidamper or ATI damper alone...so about 50% of retail. I feel good about the price, and am less concerned with possible belt slip. I had significant belt slip with the MP112 and 6-rib 2.85 pulley.

Well, it does seem that many make setup changes, make the dyno runs and then not follow it up with track runs. I have not run the truck as it sits now...and I am curious as to what it will do "as a baseline". with the 346 & MP112, I made changes and made videos of my track runs...

I had planned on installing the pulley setup (raising the boost) before doing any track time...but agree that it would be more "informative" to have before/after logs and run times. There is a track event on Aug 10 so I'll hold off on any changes until after that event so that there is some "empirical" comparison data.

 

So whats the deal? Any progress?

Seems everyone has issues with measuring output/improvements by dyno numbers only, so as posted above, I was going to attend a track rental on Aug. 10 for some baseline runs--and as you are likely aware, that event has unfortunately been deferred.

I work swingshifts (2pm-10pm) Tue-Sat so my next Sunday opportunity is Sept 10 at Infineon.

 

No Excuse!!!!

 

Do a Synergy track day...you have all the trucks in the area anyway!

 

Yup, and just about running faster than most of the vettes around here now too.

Just for comparison on that 122.

Mikes awd TBSS with his system in it and him is over 5400 pounds race weight.

newtech did the 112hh on his truck (awd) with 9 psi pump gas and meth injection ran a 11.7@114. Nick set him up with a custom grind cam that really did the trick. Hes going to be doing a race gas tune now since his street 91 tune on his 11.7 run is really really safe. Hes going to go for pinks all out in like 3 weeks so with the new tune im sure will run low 11s especailly with some weight savings
