heya guys i threw a 2.90 blower pulley on.. ( was the stock 3.33) and along with my crank pulley (7") and it looks to be making about 10-11 psi on my combo

i noticed that the boost gauge just slightly jumps around when it gets up in the higher boost levels. shakes a bit around 10-11

i'm assuming this is a little belt slipppage?? still running the 6 rib pulleys.

but the car feels like it picked up a decent amount of power.
as far as i saw it went from 7-8 psi to 10-11, pretty warm outside, so i may see 12 psi or so on a colder night.

got my tweecer and tuned the car pretty rich (11:1) and timing is locked out at 18* total at high loads. the car still runs pretty awesome. cant wait to lean her out a bit and maybe add a few degress of timing and see how she feels.

layed into it in 4th gear and after i let out at like 5500 i could smell a slight hint of clutch lol

Sounds like its slipping some. How tight is the belt? Have you decided on what clutch yet?

its pretty tight, about as tight as i would dare run it. are there any other measures i can take to keep the belt from slipping? i'd sure hate to have to swap to 8 rib pulleys you know....

as for the clutch i will probable get the RAM powergrip HD like you have. the FMS clutch works good but just not enough holding power for my car now lol

Anderson has some stuff that you put on the blower belt thats like glue I suppose that makes it not slip. No clue if it actually works though.
