I'm betting nitrous.

If you remember, he had Nitrous Outlet make those fancy lines inside the bottom of the tub.

Lower the boost, spray some gas = more power.

If it's anything else, it just doesn't make sense.

Someone once told me that the boost control is all in the foot.

I already sprayed 150 on top of 15psi of boost

The bars are rated up to 250hp though. I should actually probably make it a 175 to get my AFR right with the meth.

The blower and nitrous? Probably not without loosing 700lb from the truck.

Drove the truck around a good bit yesterday, the new pulley puts me right at 9-10psi which is what I was shooting for. Cruising sound is much lower than it was before even though idle is still pretty authoritative. WOT is obviously much louder due to the cutout. The 3-4psi region is kind of strange where the truck is fast, but isnt making much noise so it is very surprising. Caught me off guard a few times since I guess I have been driving mainly be the sound of the engine for so long.
