Running 15-16 psi on the little paxton with the current 3.40" pulley ( stock headers with cats) and wondering If compressor surge from the stock BOV is hurting the blower or just overspeed, I already killed the blower once on the 3.48" on a 50 deg track day... Had it rebuilt and want it to last...
Anybody with a Paxton setup go down to the 3.40 pulley instead of all the way to the 3.33? Curious as I dont want a lot more power im already on the 3.48 just want a tad more on tap without worrying about the motor... Not ready to send it that hard
Got back to the track yesterday but only made 3 passes, I managed a 1.48 60' on one pass but letting the computer shift it wound up being a little slower, had that been on the 137mph pass maybe a 9.99! Anyway best pass now 10.1 @ 137! Still on stock cats.

Finally got the paxton daily out to the track and after a several hour rain delay I got to make just 4 passes... First ever runs on a bias ply full hoosier slick also, which ended up being awesome and I only launched the car at 3K, I think she had a 1.4x 60' in her had a stalled up to say...
Where's all the high 9 second full weight cars? I should be around 750whp heading to the track this weekend to test out the new converter.. 4000lbs race weight! Mods in sig
I'm at 720whp and still running 5W-20 Full Synthetic Mobil 1, what do you big power guys keep your motor happy with? Just curious if anyones switching to a thicker oil..
You guys running a 4C with a centri setup what tires are you running out back? I have 3.15 gears and wanna know if I could run a 28" tire now with this new converter.
I have a paxton setup that I occasionally drive to work and sometimes on trips, I recently killed the stock converter and am hesitant to put a stock one back in... I will take the car to the strip some and would love to get into the 9s... Is a Circle D 4C going to kill my daily drivability??

Earlier this month at the drag strip my stock converter failed inside in 2nd gear during a roll racing event ( Street Car Takeover ATL), This thread was initially a what did I break thread before I tore everything down and diagnosed the issue. Ive...
Look to be replicas of the oem magnetic style 20x9s but these are 19x10 and 27.5lbs a piece.. that is on the light side for $175 each and considering the stock ones are 37lbs! Anyone run these?

Any low speed maneuvering such as parking, drive thrus, pulling in and out of garage etc I get horrible brake squealing I mean its so loud it hurts your ears, been doing this since 1900 miles, car now has 8K and im tired of it... Noticed its most worse when car hasn't been driven in a while and...
I have a 3.15 gear centri car so I need the smallest diameter for effective ratio but best hooking tire for my setup and ive pretty much narrowed the size down to 275/40R17... My question is Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S, Hoosier DOT Drag Radial, or NT05Rs... I know all of these will hook better...
I have a 3.48 on my paxton setup and im running into belt slip, I am running the Gates K061025 102.5" in the middle adjustment hole which is the farthest one out you can pull this belt... I know for a fact im slipping as I marked the pulley and belt sides and have dust. What do I do next...
Can you run the stock 103" Belt with the 3.48 pulley on the paxton setup or do you need to run a shorter belt... Also would using the stock belt and just moving the idler work?
Probably gonna be going the Wastegate torque booster route for my car, no torque down low is old already after only a few days... Does anyone have any results on the 3.33 gated to 12-15psi? Just wanna see some real world gains cause I have 3.15 gears and my cars a slug below 5k rpm.
