your pulley is too big to join the club....you need to get a 2.62.....

j/k! welcome to the club! how do you like that the power of SC?

I saw the pic of your boost gauge...how come it doesnt stay at 0?

Thanks for the welcome.

I got the SC from Shadow in Atlanta. It's my understand that the VAC/BOOST gauge should be reading around 17Hg at idle..it's showing near zero because I have a VAC leak somewhere between the EVAP canister and the solenoid. (Code 0807) Will be spending time tracking that soon as it's not even a small issue right now from I'm told. If I can't find the leak, I'm gonna try to throw it on a SmokeIt machine when I got to Seattle next month. That's how Iansw found his big leak.

I LOVE the power man. It's WAYYYYYY more than I ever expected. Can't wait to get the MEVI on next month and the chip JWT'd.

good to know that you love the power (are you running on Shadow's 3.33 pulley?) For us autos, it is hard to boost from rolling because we always stuck at 2500 rpm range at rolling. I noticed that downshifting from 3000rpm is very strong, while downshifting from 2500 is kinda weak.

Yeppers..running the 3.33 for now. Gonna step to the .12 once Iansw goes 2.87. Might possibly go to a 3.25 in the interim. We'll see how it all plays out.

Hey! Welcome! Another SC in the Northwest!

I'm already thinking about going 3.25" next! It's funny how my urge for more boost has come up again after the 3.33" was installed last November.

I'm at 15Hg at idle right now.

Other than shaving one entire post off for the 3.25" what else needs to be considered?

Iansw would be the best one to ask about that. He has already blown by that pulley and is running 3.12 now.

hey Dan....I would say getting an 8:1 will be good. I heard 3.25 and 3.33 are about the same, power-wise......But the 3.125...hmmmm that's a totally different stage
