they are typically pre filled as oil is needed for the units to be tested, with that said you must also check the oil level with the dipstick in the blower after it is mounted. Don't forget to remove the shipping plug and install the vent in the case.


Sorry about your earlier belt post, I did not realize you were using an aftermarket pulley on the water pump.

As long as it's in the groove straight on the other pulleys I don't think where it rides on the tensioner will affect it

You went to 42s now right ? This is deff a tune thing . A whole lot of fuel at idle . I'd bet to say if you put your foot to floor (cuts injector pulse) car will start everytime with no hesitation .

Yeah the new 42's are loading it up causing it to be hard to start. I'd back off the FP to around 30-35. That should help. Your dyno tune will add calm to all this chaos. Back when I had my SSC I saw 28psi of fp at idle with the 42's.

Good Luck!
