We still have power for a few more hours, good golly this is nasty as heck, first time I've been smack in the middle of one of these, been in some near misses but this is going to be 125mph an sheer terror I suspect. Funny I still have DSL lol and DirecTV

I was wondering how that was affecting our Texas brothers. We're praying for you !!!. Hope you're able to get through it with out any problems, although it doesn't look too good.

Hey guys, I've dodged a bullet where I'm at, but NYNY in Houston is catching the full force. Prayers got out to you tonight bro. I hope God sees you and yours through this one.
Once again fellows, I'm good, as a matter of fact we're expecting 60 mph at most.

I know everybody says not to do it but I have 4.10's with the S/C and I love it.
I'm looking at suspension upgrades right now. I would like to get it to hook up a little better. I dont get any wheel hop so that's good but if I don't play it just right off the line I will spin all the way to 4th with little effort. I would like to be able to come off the line a little harder without breaking loose. I was looking at the BMR drag race rear package level 1. They have a level 2 but it looks like for the most part it just offers more adjustability and quite frankly I'm not sure I would know what to do with all those adjustments and be worse off

I literally just laughed out loud here at my desk..... that was friggin hilarious, hahhahaa
Very weird to see a centri make the same or even more torque than HP..... doesn't seem right. Your boost psi is affected by many things including the 'cooler and long tubes. The cooler takes more psi to push through it, so if you start at 10psi you'll lose maybe 2psi or so. Longtubes increase your outgoing flow, therefore diminishing boost psi also. Remember though that although you're "losing" boost, you're gaining power by having a cooler intake charge (via the cooler) and again gaining power by reducing your exhaust restrictions (via the long tubes). That said, your HP numbers still seem low, however you said it is a Mustang dyno which personnnally I believe can run 10%-15% lower numbers than a DynoJet model depending on how it's set up.
To answer your question, I was running the 3.8" pulley on my non-cooled setup, and then when I added the 'cooler I went to a 3.33" pulley and only managed to see about 2 more psi, which makes sense because again the 'cooler "steals" some boost. But the car pulled much harder and ran much more consistently since the intake charge was always cool.
You're much closer to me...... bring it!
Oh by the way, you should update your signature with some track times and maybe change those HP/TQ numbers at 10psi since soon you'll "only" be running 8.9 psi.

Interesting when I was at GTR we were talking about water/alcohol systems Ricardo mentioned how it was a good way to be able to advance timing to help increase HP. I think with Kenne Bell systems they tap in under the manifold using dual injectors. That's the only detail I don't like about the installation.

I'm seriously considering this mod so I can lower my IAC and run more boost, but mainly so the 'kooler crowd will STFU.
