I would never be able to see it without the circle around it. I saw your toes first!

Hey Bill you're getting better, you can at least spot the reference to football now.

Thanks for the brake bleeding info Brian, I will certainly be using this someday. Have stainless steel lines to install someday. But have been afraid to mess with brakes being a newbie. Brakes are pretty important to safety I would think.

Ha!

This is one topic that's missing from the Hotlink thread, changing brake pads and bleeding the brakes. Guess it won't happen until it's time for me to do it... unless someone steps up.
For doing it, you'll be honored with a TB Seal of Approval!

yeah... Well I'll tell ya, when I get the new rotors I'll get pads and SS Brake lines too. I can do that as a write up.

Problem, for me, is that once I get started on a project I'm pretty one-track minded and forget to take pics. I'll take a couple as I start then totally forget once I'm elbow deep in the work. Trust me I've tried. It isn't easy to do a TacoBill quality job.

I'd be closer to the JBA instructions

You just need to get Jed or Ray to take pictures while you do the work. I'm sure they'll take pics for beer.

So I ordered my new pulley, 3.33". Vortech and Brenspeed confirmed what my shop said about lossing psi to aftercooler and LT's. So the much smaller pulley should offset that. So this means I should get redyno tuned next week.

Tom I spoke with Seth and I asked him about your numbers with the Vortech/Paxton. He and Dave(???) seem to think you were running smaller then 3.33 with your final numbers. I was alittle confused.

Cool to hear things seem to be much better with your Vortech Jon. Post a pic of the Dyno when you get it done. Can't wait to see the final number.

I think that dent is for the bolt access. That bolt was a ***** to screw in but Brain made it happen.

Nope, it was the 3.33" pulley. We tried several different sizes but I ended up going with the 3.33. In fact, when I sold the blower it had the 3.33 on it still.




Oh almost forgot.......... how 'bout dem Cowboys!

That's the direction I'd like to go later down the road along with the meth injection.

No cooler or l/t's, so no psi drop for me!

Hmm.. what psi would the 3.33 yield in my case?

Would think around 12psi minimum since you have no cooler and no LTs.

Brian- Yeah I know, finally get to enjoy all the money spent. I'll try and get the graphs up asap. And post long overdue pictures of my car and engine bay which I never got around of doing. My girlfriend got her camera working again and she does that kinda stuff more often then I do. Lol

Ok, cool. I'm pretty stoked about getting fitted with the new pulley.

Lol, nope no drop for you. When you getting your car dyno'd? Actually, do you even have your car at this point? I lost track

Yeah I was told by Seth I should see anywhere between 4-6 psi from this pulley depending on where my tuner cuts off. Right now I'm being cut off at 6300 RPM. I'd be happy with anything over 10psi

Bill, did I miss the results of your stalling/rough running issues or is it not resolved yet?
