Still no traction at the race track... Spins all 4 tires to about 70mph. Needs tires, and its just not in the cards this year.

Goodyear ats all terrain tires = not good for drag racing with lots of power.

A buddy had Goodyear all-terrain on his 04 f150 and broke his rear end trying to do a burnout the same day he had them installed

It was still in the 11's actually, 11.9 11.8 @ 118-119 mph. If it hooked I dont know what it would do, but from a 50mph roll, it runs right with my Camaro which runs 10.8's at 126mph. Time will tell, next year sometime hopefully.

how does the truck run from a dig with your camaro? If it has ever hooked up with it.

Any signs of wear on the stock internals at 17psi. That's very impressive for cast aluminum pistons!

I see that you are calculating your supercharger speed with the pulley changes youre making.

Is there a chart or formula you are using? Where?

I am running a 3.25 pulley with an ATI 7% OD Damper and would like to know my blower rpm!

Thanks

It's an easy formula to calculate blower speed.

Crank Pulley Diameter/Blower Pulley Diameter * RPM

So on a 5.3 with a stock crank pulley, with your 3.25" pulley and shifting at 6500rpm, it would look like this.

7.75"/3.25"*6500=15500rpm at the blower.
