Looking real good!

Agree the new cluster is much nicer.

A little late for the rest of the Story....... But better late than never as this might help somebody else in this situation......So.... After installing the Edelbrock Supercharger, I put 15,000 trouble free miles on the car...even with only 6 lbs of boost the car was a ball to drive with the added Torque........So... In July of last year we were driving to Des Moines, Iowa for the Good-Guys show......I was driving on I-80 around 80 MPH and all of a sudden I lose power steering and the engine went into Limp home mode.......WTF...... I coast over to the side of the Highway and open the hood......Here's what I seehttps://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...=278&crop=fill

The Pulley broke off the water pump......... Hummmm !!!!.........https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...=278&crop=fill




I called Mark Stielow and sent him a picture and asked him if he had ever seen this before........ He asked me what car that was off of and I told him the Impala......Then he Educates me on the Edelbrock single belt drive set-up..... He explained that all the torque of turning the supercharger is transfered to the belt wrap around the water pump pulley....... Once he told me that it made perfect sense...... Then I wondered why Edelbrock didn't have any reference to this in their instructions...... So..... I go on their website and I see they are now selling a replacement pump with heavy duty bearings and a Flanged pump shaft with a bolt on Billet Pulley.....

So... I told Mark about the pump and said I ordered one..... Then he tells me the same pressure was put thru the Power Steering Pump and I should order one of the TurnOne Power Steering Pumps that are designed to absorb the pressure ..... Put all the new stuff on and I now have the confidence to drive the car across the country again........LOL

I already clicked the thanks button but wanted to comment how great follow-up and trouble shooting posts are... so Thanks!!



Jeff-

x2. Especially for those not in 'the circle'.

Thanks for the update Ken.

Great info to have Ken. Appreciate the update.

So..... The engine in the car is a perfectly stock 2006 GTO LS2 with the added Edelbrock supercharger........ Because of the higher compression in these engines Edelbrock has the pulleys configured to only make 6 lbs of boost .....Other than the pulley breaking off the water pump I have about 16000 miles on this set-up....... So.. last Saturday I went out to the drag strip and made just one pass on the car just the way I have been driving it ....................12.25 @ 115 mph........ LS engines "ROCK" !!!!!!!!!
