as you know last weekend i got my SC installed. ran decent, my smog pump locked up on me and timing was off. i couldnt see teh balancer well with all the belts in place so it was difficult. i also mis routed the vent line thats supposed to go from the VC to the air box. i had it going from the TB to the airbox ( silly me) and it was bleeding off boost and woulnt really make boost until 4k
got it all lined out, got the ASP smog eliminator, rerouted the vent line, got a new acc. belt. got it timed correctly. i timed it with the belt , fan and shroud off. so i could see it.
got it running and went out to the back roads.
floored it in first. pulled hard and once it hit 3k it BURIED the tach INSTANTLY while roasting the tires. shifted hard to second and BURIED the tach again, held into and it finally caught traction at 5k in 2nd, i had to shift as soon as it hooked up.
3rd continued to pull hard and so did 4th
and this is all on a hot summer day with a load of suspension mods done. which helped traction quite a bit from before.
and this tire spin isnt the just small squealing and going, its actually burning rubber, i got on it this morning and roasted them through 1st and 2nd and i saw a smoke cloud behind me. my tires arent going to last too long now lol
on top of the increased power in 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear are now usable gears. before the blower my car would do alright in 1st and 2nd then 3rd, wind resistance would start working against the car and it didnt feel like it pulled as hard then. now with the SC 3rd gear feels about like 2nd gear did before. will start making boost and take off, will do that cool suck you back into the seat slowly and hold you there.
4th gear now is easy to max out, before it would take a little bit to get 4th gear to stretch out, now it just goes and passes 100 very fast.
i wont know until i get to the track but it feels like i may have too much gear now, like it will top out 4th before the 1/4, i duno for sure but it goes that much faster now.
some people i have given rides to say the car feels like a "smoother faster"
like before it when i shifted the rpm loss would make the car lose power and then would pull again. now its just pulling all the way through instead of your head going back and forth.
if the car runs good all week and give me no problems i am taking it to the track.
i still need to install my boost gauge i got to see what boost its making on the ported heads and stuff.
it just helped out so much with the 5-6lb kit, swapping some pullies and making 8-10 would be insane.
i have a camera to take vids but i need a cable to hook it up to the computer. once i get that i will post up some vids.
