Saw **** and Mike out at PIR last night. Nice to meet you guys!!!


As for myself, my first fast run was 13.6 @ 101. Second was 13.55 @ 99. And both runs were having 4rth gear issues. I don't know if I was running rich or lean, but the power was ragged. Even though it was "fast" you could tell if it was cleaned up, it would be good for at least a few more tenths of a second and 2-4 mph....

My third run was 30 seconds at 24 mph.... Blew off the MAF and had to be towed off. But it was the first time in easily 100-150 passes.

First run

60' - 2.025
1/8th - 8.775
mph - 80.02
1/4 - 13.630
mph - 101.08

Second run
60' - 1.995
1/8" - 8.655
mph - 79.5
1/4 - 13.553
MPH 99.84

On the first run, when I shifted into second, I spun out which is the first time I have ever done this! Serious torque!


Next time I go out, I will have actually tuned the sucker, will be running 2-4 more psi, and will still be spraying 100-120 shot of nitrous. 12's here I come!

9 inches Baby!!!! :huh: Weighs less than stock even.




I am holding it in my lap and just admiring it right now. Its a piece of freaking art!

The pulley started as an EBAY donor underdrive pulley and a 1" thick piece of 12"x12" square aluminium stock from McMaster Carr. The outer ribs of the donor pulley were turned off. The block was turned round and an opening was turned into it.

Then the donor pulley was frozen and the outer section heated and then they were press fit together. Once they came back to room temperature, they were not going anywhere! To top it off, the machinist then put 4 pins in the ring section to tie them together 100%. He also turned it down to about 5.5 pounds, although I have yet to weigh it, although it weighs less than whatever the stock 5.25" stock pulley weighs.

I may lighten it a tad more, by installing it in a mill and rotating vice and drilling holes in it. We shall see. Depends upon how much free time I have tomorrow.

Its the crank pulley that I had made larger, since the magnetic clutch pulley on the SC cannot be made smaller.

Installed and running!




8 psi at 2000 rpm, 10 by 3000 rpm and 14-15 max!

Ways more than I expected. I hoped for 11 psi, up from 8-9. I would have been pleasantly surprised with 12. 14? YESSSSS.

BANG!
