They always blamed it on the belts, which it ate pretty often... this was like 10 years ago though...

I bet the 6.2 is a lot of fun with the extra power, not to mention you have the 6 speed trans. Those truck run good out of the hole stock.

well doug from the shop was sayin it could be the old boost gauge from the tahoe I have temporarily rigged in the sub (6-7 years old) the line is somewhat pinched since I just have it up the back of hte hood into the doorjam etc. but it seemed weird to me, belt seems tight no rubber anywhere that I could find...

Just sucks that by the time I decided to just back it down out of stupid mode, some dumb chick decided to make a full mile pass and put a caddy dts into the sand trap at the end, then yet another import broke, everyone was leaving for food so I said screw it. I'm leavin too this is boring sitting around adn waiting.

Aha, i noticed that and i asked my self why did they put this they make a limitation for the air flow and i told my friends i'm going to remove it later, so do you think it is better to leave it? what is the benefit of it?
I'm new on this field so excuse me for my smart questions

well I obviously have a different motor in my truck being a 6.0 but with it removed it was seeing 12 pounds and instead of shifting at 5500 like it was supposed to it was going past 6000 rpms. Our guess is it was blowing through the stock transmission...I'd stick with whats in it now, going wide open with no restriction really didn't go well, but it wasn't destructive (yet)

I heard there was a pretty large order placed for your region over there....I have a feeling you might run into some competition soon.

The latest update
I tired my car with Shelby Mustang and 350z with a turbo both of them from the roll from 40 to 180 and I beat them all.

Now I'm facing some belt problem, slipping at high RPM and my question is are you running 6 or 8 rips in your car?

The belt when it turn around the big bully and the tensioner they touch each other so we modified bracket for the lower tensioner so now bigger gab between the tensioner and the big bully.

180......I hope that was kilometers

I haven't run into any issues with just the 6 rib but 95% of the time we have it back down to 7 pounds.

last night I went on a corvette run from nyc to philly for philly cheesesteaks. I wound up taking the sub since the road race car doesn't have plates and the boost car is in the shop again. holding the truck at 90-110 mph for 10 minutes straight I got a service 4wd message on the dash, so I backed off to about 90 for the rest of the run, hung with some stock C5's on the highway from 60-100ish, pulled a 05/06 GTO thats stock, but I have to admit the truck ain't happy at those speeds for extended periods of time. Trans temps were in the same range I see towing 10K lbs as well, from the constant hammering I was giving the truck.

I know there's room to upgrade to an 8 rib if you feel the need, but I'd just think you need more tension on the belt with teh 6 rib and it should be fine. I think I have about 4-5K miles on my truck already, I'm waiting for the oil to come in from paxton to do the first oil change which was supposed to be around 3500 miles, whoops...

Yeah it is Kilometers, the car can reach 160mile
Now Doug sent us a new fuel map and we are going to dyno the car and send the sheet to him so he will know exactly where we are and we will work from there, and regarding the belt it seems good now after the modification, we sent him a bracket so he will see what we did.
The problem we are facing now the specs for US market is diff. than our specs so it will take a little time to figure out the problems but I know everything can be solved.
