True power of a SuperC ?

How many superC people cant hit 13s that you know of?

With the basic kit...a 5 speed maxima still in the 14s or what?

I hope to God I'll be deep into the 13s with the stock 3.6" pulley. I'm pulling 14.4s@ nearly 100mph with crap 60 foots NA. I'd think an extra 70fwhp would get me at least a 13.8@104mph with a crap 60 foot.

Heh...I don't full boost in 4th or 5th Gears.....9PSI in 1st and 2nd

With our cars combined, we'd have 1 fast-azz car!

Yes. I have a slow boost leak somewhere. My idle only reads 15Hg vacuum.

I spent about 8 months and more than $500 buying new gauges, tools, hoses and gaskets and then paying 2 mechanics to try and find it with no luck.

I gave up.

When I go to a smaller pulley in a few weeks and then again later this summer when I get the JWT ECU and 300z injectors, I'll try and find it some more.

My current theory is that if I boost in 1st and 2nd, there isn't enough time for the leak to cause much loss. But in higher gears, I am boosting for a longer period of time, and the leak is more prevalent.

No, normal is around 18-19 in-hg.

I've gotten several 13.9's @ 101-103 with just the stock kit with the stock pully. Haven't tried with the SCCAI yet.
