Sorry for the long post.
So yesterday I went out to do a WOT pull to 5000rpm as requested by Lund. Car is still limited to 5K.
First time I've driven the car 'spiritedly'. It's the first time I've ever been in a supercharged car let alone driven one! The bloody thing pulls like a freight train!!
However I'm already in panic mode. I'm probably worried about nothing. I'm not sure I can describe it and I presume supercharging changes how the car behaves, puts extra stress on parts and creates extra noises.
When I accelerate somewhat hard ( I'm trying not to push it obviously) it just sounds violent! I can't work out if it's intake noise (Stock CAI) or header noise (longtubes) or a physical creaking or groaning sound.
I've had a quick look at the logs and they look good to me. No knock. Fuel trims look good. But I'm no expert.
I'm fairly certain there is nothing hitting anything. I've had a look at the exhaust, I've checked engine mounts.
I hope that makes sense...
