BTW, I wish mine was a little louder......

if gets louder if you spin it faster.
When I first got mine with 363rwhp you could barely hear it on the highway....now I definitely can hear it winding up.

You just switched to a smaller pulley right? What size?DeadLurker said:if gets louder if you spin it faster.

I went from 3.6(stock) to 3.3 RR pulley, plus a steeda powerpipe.
I could definitely feel it pulling harder under the curve. traction issues lol Plus I should have a graph to back it up soon.
Have you gotten an intercooler yet to run safe boost? What psi are you at now? I want to pulley down eventually too.DeadLurker said:

What do you mean by run safe boost? I'm not sure i'm following ya.
I'm at 10psi in cold weather with the intercooler. So once it warms up I should be around 9psi which is where I want to be.
no problem in asking questions

I like the SQ....it was just what I was looking for considering my car is my daily driver to work and school.
Definately, but yeah a little more pricey. I got the Novi b/c I have big plans for RWHP. I'd hate to regret buying something less later on. Not that Vortechs are wimpy. Michaed Kidd seems to do pretty well with his2002BLGT said:
The guys mods I'm following so far made 433RWHP w/ an Intercooled Novi 2K smaller blower pully, and a power pipe which I just bought. Someone on modularfordpowerhouse made 25 pounds of boost out of a Novi 2K recently. Build the motor, and run that and OMG !Don't get a S-trim. I've heard they make a nasty rattle noise at idle like someone shaking a box of rocks. I expect my Novi to be loud, but I love how prochargers sound.
Can SQ trims all be upgraded to the more powerfull T trim impellar later on if desired ?
I was talking about intercooled boost, which is better than non-intercooled, right? Especially since you went with a smaller pulley and have a stock bottom end.DeadLurker said:

I wanted the intercooler so that I wouldn't have to wait so long for the car to cool down at the track considering im a track ho.
I got the pulley and powerpipe to compensate for the boost loss.
Yeah I'm all about the a/f and it being safer vs how much hp I can get out of it.
i originally had the S trim V-1, and the sound got annoying, especially when i had engine problems and tried to find out where my knocking was coming from. i traded for a SQ and have no regrets.
