I figured that might be the case..... Nothing but problems from a performance standpoint with the FPCM in my experience.

Well, it's finally back in the shop. We are installing the pullies and a custom cam first, then it will get moved over to the other side of the shop to get the fuel system designed. I will get more pics as it goes on.

This pulley configuration will achieve maximum efficiency blower speed at 6500 rpms.

Before this I was running about 15 psi with the 6 rib belt (which I will add, was pushing it with a 6 rib belt, wouldn't reccomend it), this will get at least 18 psi, maybe close to 20 psi.

U guys think it's a good investment for any boosted truck?

Yes, that is a catch can, and yes we were draining it. I check it once every month or 2, generally 1-2 ounces of oil. Yes, I think it is a good investment.
