Good choice on the Speedhut gauges! Id like to know how they are when you get them installed. I bought their electronic boost and FP gauges. Same price for their electronic gauges as anyone else's mechanical gauges and these are made in the USA with a lifetime warranty!
I am looking forward to those new gauges, i hope they look and work good.

IW 8rib pulleys showed up today. Very nice pieces. I also got a huge box from Rockauto with misc hoses, seals, coolant tank etc. UPS, fedex and usps are gonna hate me. I have like 10 other deliveries over the next few days.

Only things not shipped yet are the OD Crank pulley, metco 100mm idlers and the blower spacer.

How many PSI do you plan on making? Looks like it's going to be VERY nice.

I love the idea of comparing boost to boost. I can't wait to hear your impressions.

ehh...my Silverado never felt fast. its best pass was 7.42 at 94mph with a 1.68 60' (150 shot).


my s10 feels the same. its best pass was 6.80@101 with a 1.46 60' (motor)


that's .62 faster in the 1/8 and my *** cant tell the difference. i don't trust butt dynos.

Something is wrong with you if you can't feel that big of a 60' difference! Although track times and dynos tell alot, I've always been a big fan of the good ol "this bitch runs good now!!" Or "damn, that was a mistake"
