  1. What tires are you running on the street in the summer when using FI?

    I have run both 345/30/R19 Nitto NT05R and 325/30R19 Mickey Thompson ET Street R. The Nitto tires were decent when they were new, but they were only sticky for about 2,500 miles before they became useless. I currently have 3,100 miles on my pair of Mickey Thompson tires, and they are still...
  2. Input on Forced Induction

    I may be biased to the Centri style, but if you are not going to track the car a ton, and most of your driving will be on the street I personally think the Centi style superchargers are a better setup for street driving. A little less torque on the street is not a bad thing for trying to keep...
  3. 3.48 pulley on pump 93?

    I just installed the 3.48" pulley and had it dyno'd this week. It made 703/540, and I was making 12psi of boost at 7500 rpms. I run 93 with a can of Boostane in each tank. The car feels noticeably faster than the 3.6" i previously had which made about 650 at the wheels.

    Paxton 2200SL - I made 652rwhp @ 11psi on the 3.6" pulley. No quarter mile yet as I just installed the new drive shaft this winter. I also just installed the 3.48" pulley, and I will update with those Dyno results in a few weeks. Looking to crack the 700s. This is all on 93 octane + Torco.
  6. Paxton 2200SL Belt Tension

    I had the same question when I installed my 3.48" pulley a few weeks ago with the tensioner barely moving because the belt was so tight. I had to "walk" the belt on by turning the crank to get it on. My tuner said that it should be okay, and I have been running it since with no issues. I am...
  7. Budget 2018 twin turbo GT build--Under $5k including fuel upgrades

    I had the same issue of spinning the tire on the rim, and I have heard hairspray works. I was skeptical so I used Permatex High Tack Gasket Sealant and that has worked really well for me.
  8. Project RoadCone Update...Gen 5 CJ Whipple

    Definitely going to get some weight savings removing those visors. That might just be what gets you the record! Haha
  9. Project RoadCone

    Awesome build. Thank you for posting! Do you street the car often? How on earth do you hook with 1000+ hp and 4.10 R&P?? You must spin tires in 3rd, 4th and 5th haha. 6th gear roll racing??
  10. Boosting a finance mustang *?*

    I bought my car about 5 months after getting my first job out of college, and needless to say I had to finance it. I saved up for about three months and installed the supercharger as soon as I could afford the kit and supporting mods to go with it. Best thing I ever did. Life is too short. If...
  11. 3.48 Pulley - 10psi?

    I know this was a long time ago, but did you ever figure out your belt situation? What setup worked for you? I just pulley'd down to the 3.48" pulley, but I am using a Gates HD 102.0" belt in the 2nd hole from the left (o x o o o) and my tensioner is about 1/8" from being maxed out. Hoping its...
  12. Paxton Belt Tensioner Question

    Edit: Doing my own research this setup is probably too tight. I am definitely out of the correct operating range of the tensioner and running it this tight could cause long term issues with pulley bearings and even main bearings... I am going to try the Gates 102.5" belt and see if I have any...
  13. Paxton Belt Tensioner Question

    I just installed the 3.48" pulley on my Paxton this weekend, and I used the second hole on the passenger side (2nd tightest hole) with a 102" HD belt. I had to really walk the belt on, and when I released the tension on the tensioner it only moved about 2mm from the max position. I had belt...
  14. How much rwhp to dip into the 9's

    What Boost are you seeing with that P1SC? Any weight reduction? That 9.80 seems like a really good for 700rwhp, but I do see you have the 4c converter. That is a great run.
  15. Boostane

    I run 28oz of Torco in every tank, and have been for almost 2 years now. It leaves an orange discoloration on the plugs, but I have experienced no harmful side effects otherwise. My dad has a supercharged 08' Vette that he runs 28oz of Torco per tank as well, and he has been doing that for 6 or...
  16. 3.73 Gears in an Automatic

    Whats your 60' on those 20" rims? I assume you must spin a ton off the line, but do you spin at all at the top of first or second gear?
  17. FI - How do they feel?

    Mine is an Auto! FYI I did have to rebuild my transmission with the Exedy clutches after about 3000 miles. I had a bad tune from my first tuner and it caused premature wear of the clutches. My current tune and the new clutches are holding very well.
  18. FI - How do they feel?

    I absolutely love my Paxton! FI will be the best thing you do to the car by far. As you mentioned about your previous centri's this car will be no different. My Paxton pulls hard, and only pulls harder as the RPMs climb. It makes less torque than turbos, but for a street car I think that...
  19. Trying to Decide

    I raced a Z06 back when I was at low boost and making 550rwhp and he was about dead even. I have not raced one on my current setup, but it would not even be close anymore. I imagine you really on need about 600rwhp if you want to get decently ahead, and I think both of those options would get...
