EFILive has a warning about tweaking that table more than a few % resulting in a fried PCM, but it looks like some have made significant changes. I wouldn't think that decreasing the pedal response would an issue.

Looks great. Are you going to be throwing on a different hood/scoop or just modifying this one to cover everything?

Heard you hammer on it once yesterday on the perimeter when I was on the golf course but I guess the belts explains why it was only once lol. Sounds sick even from a half mile away. Hope to see it in person some time this summer.

This scoop is just to hide the hole.....or most of it. I want a custom steel scoop designed to restore rigidity to the hood. May even start with a fresh hood. I am just using the original hood as a template.

BTW, I fixed the throttle shutting down on its own issue today(tune) but I took out all 3 belts in one shot when I let out of the throttle. Wasn't an issue before I put on the 3.0 pulleys. Yes, I went to a tighter belt - tightest I can get on. That was a mess on the side of the highway with no spare main accessory belt in the back and belt spaghetti wrapped around everything.

I wasn't too kind to the Nitto 305's either.

Guess I will just need a set of belts for every pass down the 1/4!

Not yet. Need a belt cam.

Blower RPM dropping faster than the crank RPM?

Also looks like the blower tensioner pulley is pretty close to the idler pulley with the idler at minimum stop. If the belt ever gets that loose it might catch on itself?? Might try repositioning one of those.

Will see what the log tells me re RPMs, etc.
