It's still purple though.TweekedGT said:I decided to do a little changing on the blower today, put the 14# pulley on and see what happens. Ummm........ya...... THIS THING IS RIDICULOUS! The car was only running 6#'s of boost on the 9# pulley so i thought I might see 11#'s on the 14 pulley which shouldn't cause any detonation. All I saw was 10#'s but it is very very fast. I'm guessing in the neighbourhood of 450rwhp but that's just the ass-o-meter. I think it's possible since I was at 370 with only 6#'s. There are no first or second gears anymore. They both just go up in tire smoke. Third gear is now a handful when shifting at 5500rpm, she walks pretty good. All in all a very interesting experiment, needless to say there are no other pulleys for this car anymore unless i can get smaller ones from KB . That 9#'er will never see use again . I'll see if I can get a vid that you can actually see something on. The car sounds like an 03-04 Cobra now, has a real nice blower whine.
shm curse ftlTweekedGT said:I am going to start pulling it apart in probably another month. The only thing i think is wrong is an intake manifold leak. i don't honestly think it is that bad anymore just because i raced my buddy at the track with his 03 GT with a KB, full exhaust, ram air, etc.. and i beat him and he was running a full 9#'s of boost with me only running 6. i don't think i have compression issues actually, I've been told by a lot of tuners and engine manufacturers that because i have more displacement, blower cams, free flowing exhaust, I should be seeing less boost but more power, which seems to be happening. There will be less stress on the engine with my setup. I actually have an e-mail in to KB right now asking them why i would see less boost just to confirm what everybody else is saying but they haven't responded yet. I'm gonna take the KB off in September to check the manifold gaskets, valve train, timing, etc. See If I can come up with anything. But for right now I'm gonna run the car and see what happens. I'm using a crap load of octane booster just in case.
octane booster only adds about 1/3 of 1 octanehotmustang331 said:Excellent! NM about what I said then....you should be very safe if your doing that.

it's like 17 a bottle.. but treats 20 gallons to make 97 octane.. or 10 to make 104
im gonna grab a few cans for the weekend runs:lol

TweekedGT said:Well i talked to my tuner today and he said there should be no problem with me running the 14# pulley with my tune. Because the A/F is a product of the transfer function of the MAF the car will not run lean, if anything it may go rich. When he tuned the car he had the tune get slightly richer at higher RpM than down low so he said it will actually continue with the trend and will actually get richer if anything. So off to the races for me! We have our NHRA Division 6 Naional Open this weekend and i want to make a few passes. See if i can't hit a low 12 or even (very highly unlikely) high 11. That's probably the only time I'll get a vid made but i will try to get an in car run if possible. I don't exactly want to be doing it on the street.
