Lol, it's all good man! I am spraying a pretty healthy dose of meth, running a bit on the rich side to be safe and it is progressively controlled (more boost, more meth, and the boost map is going up with rpm). The 2-3 shift is the fastest shift and the controller has a slight delay so it ends up starting 3rd a little fat on the AFR for a split second.

Lol^.

We just installed the 3.125 pulley, and retuned it, now it is making 14.5 psi. After tuning, I inspected everything and did not notice any belt slip at all, just an FYI that there appears to be no issues at this level. We did however order an 8 rib set up for the next stage after we do the 102 tb and custom air intake, which I am anticipating to make approximately 17+ psi where we will be achieving maximum efficiency blower speed of 18,000 rpms.

9.5 psi you ran 12.56

You are now up to 14.5 psi.. I am going to take a wild stab and guess 11.95

In for results

Happy to hear you're adding the 8-rib setup. that's gonna help out a lot with the high boost.

you don't have any rubber shavings or dark dust around any of the pulled mounts now?

I'll guess a 12.2x et
