Love it, love it, love it...

Make sure you give some notice if you come up North to race it.

It looks just awesome man. I really like it and words don't do no justice.

Maybe in the future - I can switch to a supercharger with no inter-cooler. Same location as you. It would be so easy, and it would clean up lots of piping and stuff.

Thanks Guys :cheers:  I'm really pleased with how the exhaust turned out/sounds, that camera makes it sound really quiet though and the blower louder than what it is. Dont get me wrong, the blower is loud but you have a hard time really hearing it over the exhaust in person.

That would be cool WannaBeFast but your blow though set up should be awsome as well!

I'm planning on copying some of your front end design with regard to the splitter mounts/design, etc.    I think it'll help me to support the front bumper better too.    :)

Thats cool. Just let me know if you needs some info :cheers:


Well on another note, I think I have pushed the six rib belt set up about as far as I can. Running into some pretty bad belt slip at higher rpm/load and I want to push beyond 13/14 psi (overall goal is to max the blower eventually) so its onto a 8 or 10 rib pulley set up. I am going to try running some more tension on the belt but I know thats only going to get me so far, I definetly dont want to get crazy with the tension and start knocking out bearings in the accessories.
 I am curious to know the power output in its current config, might run it on the dyno one time just to see what its making. This set up would work really good with a smaller blower like a D1 or P1 on a stock motor though!

More progress made finally! Got my Innovators West 8 rib 10% overdrive pulley setup, a very nice product and great people to deal with. Had to change the tensioner pulley and some other small things but it turned out great in the end. Made a huge difference in boost response, now I only see about a 1/2 psi variance upon power shifting and that might be several other things going on so i'll leave it as is for now. Also started on my radiator/cooler ducting for the front end and installed my a/c condensor, im getting tired of 100*+ temps and a black, hot, car  >:(.












Should have the p/s and oil cooler ducting done today and once my compressor bracket shows up I will move forward with finishing the a/c installation.

Fantastic as always.

This stupid weather has me happy my car is torn down.   If it worked, I'd be trying to figure out how to run an A/C compressor on it somewhere, haha.
