I need help yall!!!!!!!!!! I have an 02 gt with the p-1sc procharger system. i put a bassani x pipe on my car and not long after that it began bogging down at 3500+ rpms... it acts like im not getting enough fuel. i dont know if it is that i need a better fuel pump or what. i heard that some people have problems with the belt slipping on the supercharger but im not sure how to tell if that would be it. also ...it doesnt do it all the time and seems not to do it as often when im riding on a full tank and i do have 373's so i do imagine the pump has a hard time keeping up. Any ideas!?!?!? has anybody had the same problem!?!?!?

do you have a boost gauge?? you can tell if the belt is slipping by watching the boost gauge. if you didnt upgrade the fuel pump, i would definetly think about upgrading.

Did you upgrade the fuel pump when you installed the blower? I also assume you have the 42# inj and a ATI burned chip?

The X pipe should not have a negative effect. I'm using a Cobra pump. Maybe your pump & fuel filter need to be replaced? Get it dyno tuned.

Click to expand...

that's not entirely true. adding an X pipe over the stock H can cause the car to go lean when blown if not retuned.

I would definatly get it to a shop that can check it out. Stock short blocks are fragile under pressure... Check fuel pressure under load, if FP is good, check the air/fuel ratio, and make some dynopulls with the scan tool hooked up and data logging. The problem with make itself aparent. Might need to rotate the maf housing to correct the airflow over the hot wire. Get it looked at by someone with the means to correctly diagnose it before you burn/melt/or otherwise destroy something. Drive easy!

i just asked the guy that tunes my car if i needed to get retuned after a midpipe/catback and he said catback...probably not, but midpipe yes, it can screw with your air fuel ratios. so i would be very careful and get it hooked up like....yesterday

Did anyone change their mid section after a tune and not retune? I did. Tuner didn't seemed concerned.He said HEADERS would call for an adjustment. I'm not challenging anyone here..just curious. Procharge...let us know what the problem was when it gets resolved. Good luck.
