Real problem is... it only has a 4 point cage.. no chute... no fuel turn off...ect. So i'll probably only get one pass.... even though im good friends with the track manager... and he lets things slide... going more than 150 through the traps will be pushing it. Maybe we will rent the track this spring.

And yeah.. 335 19's.

How much boost are you running right now??

Greg... I have to stick to skating... how else would i pay for this crap!! You know im just a "Dirty Ghetto Kid"!! :lol:

Yeah I hear ya... or if you aren't hooking up just let out of it and brake til you get that really good pass and give it all its got. :D Knowing the track mgr sure don't hurt!

I'm only running about 10psi now, but this motor and block have seen 14psi when it hit 700rwhp when previously dyno'ed.

I'd really love to crank it up to 20psi. :D

Did Jody run a differant pulley to hit 14psi?

Nope, same pulley but we have an intercooler setup which we figured would result in 2-3 psi drop max, but we are seeing 4-5 psi drop lately. So we are going to check for boost leaks and try to test boost at the procharger on the dyno day and see what the deal is. Something is definitely going on....

Might have to change the PC pulley to make up for the IC drop? Keep me in the loop on this...I may have the same corrections to make!

Absolutely. I hope there is just a leak somewhere, otherwise a smaller pulley will be in order to dial up the boost.

What psi are you targeting for yours?

When are you hitting the chassis dyno?? That would be way cool to go down to Vegas and run the 1/4 with Todd.

Probably in the next couple weeks. Probably will try it at SVS again in Sac. Good guys over there. They have a SuperFlo dyno which I do not know alot about. Need to research...

I would love to run Todd in the 1320. :D

We (Frank) only gave ATI a hp goal, not sure what psi we will hit until I look at the boost gauge. I may play with pulleys down the road...but if we hit the target hp I will leave it alone and just work the bugs out of the car first.

My origional hp goal was 600+ (50% gain) and ATI said that I should have no-prob hitting that! And that was after telling them that I was going to use the stock bottom end, stock heads, a Hot Cam, but go to 1.6 rockers....and no IC.

As you know things have kinda changed and now I can through more boost at it. They set the ProCharger up for the 'original plan' so I will have to see what pulley is going to get me where I want to be in the end. I wouldn't mind making a little more power...but I want the car drivable. Time will tell!
