I'm struggling to make 250 hp and this guy has to move S Trims out of the way to a clear spot on his work bench.

The distribution of HP in this country...

Set the base timing at 10 degrees and you should be good to go

Is there a trip button on the inertia switch to kill power to the pump as well as a reset button? I haven't gone back there to look yet.

90sickfox · Oct 15, 2015

Just tap it with something. The reset button will pop up cutting power to the pump.

Yeah, this always works.

It's been my 23rd wedding anniversary weekend so car work was a bit bogged down. She's really cool with cars but if I could get her to hang out in the garage with me....who knows? Any tips on that would be appreciated.

Meanwhile, I got the SCT chip installed and the PLX module for the boost gauge. Still waiting on the injectors but the 933-4FA018-022 crank pulley came in. I was wondering what the depth dimensions were before I ordered it but I could not find them online. So, here they are.

The stock pulley is only slightly shallower by about 3/16".

The diameter is obviously bigger and should yield some extra boost.

Overall height of the 933-4FA018-022 is 4 9/16".

No way! What problems are you having?

a91what · Oct 17, 2015

Lol! Mines not as straight forward as yours it's all custom brackets, and also a PD m90 sc. So I'm having all kinds of fun!!

My newest problem is getting off the line at the track, what I thought was tire spin is the torque this thing puts down. The 275 nittos won't break free so I'm pushing right thru the clutch. Car won't move till I get into third, just hits the limiter and accelerates.

Oh wait, if the tires stick and the clutch slips, a ton of bricks won't help. Lol.

Car is already heavy. With me in it it's around 3800lbs. Maybe more.

What do you tell them when you roll up to the station? lol, just checking the weight of my car, good day sir!

90sickfox · Oct 18, 2015

Yup...the first time I went with a bunch of scrap on my trailer. Rolled on the scales dropped my load of metal, went back on the scale, and noted my truck and trailer weight. I picked up my mustang with the same trailer. Now, I knew exactly how heavy my car was. He asked if I was scrapping the car. If you're worried about it throw some metal in the trunk and make it legit....either way you find out how fat it is. [emoji106]

At least it is lumpy...

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
