How much does a upgraded compressor cost?

In away its right but with the superchager it will make more power because it will have more boost but 12.5 would make the same power. I think with the pulley I have it would make about 14-15 psi at sea level. will post more about the car later drove it for about an hour today but didnt get some videos.End up ripping out a transmission in my buddys car. Will get tomorrow.

You couldn't be more wrong. Ever drive a GTR on the track? Feels quick, but is less engaging than other cars. Sounds to me that the majority of people here are number mongers. It doesn't make a difference to me. I've built fast cars. I've had the most fun in the slow ones though. I guess this is something only experience can really show.

Although I find it interesting to see people push the limits of this engine, it's hardly the direction I will go with this project.

Bottom line, I've built fast cars that feel slow. And I've built slow cars that felt fast. So I respectfully disagree.

I think you misunderstood what I said. Take a couple psych courses on sensation and perception, then talk to me about reality. Not just talking about cars here bro, talking about subjective reality.

So to try and answer a few question. I am debating if I want to try the whole wastegate setup. I am still trying to figure out how it works with the superchager. As soon as Harvey ( The Boost Creep) gets back ill talk to him about coming up and doing some more pulls. Also I filled up with fuel today seems to be get a little over 22 mpg. Also found that my fuel keg lid had started to come loose stated smelling gas bad inside the car then left it parked on the drive way and it slowly start leaking out. I know when installing the new fuel pump we tighten the lid. Just to give any of you guy that have messed with the fuel pump a heads up might want to check them I am thinking it vibrated loose. Leavening the car with the front end lifted up over the night to make sure there's no more leaks.

You can use a BLV (boost limiter valve):

It just vents boost once it gets to a certain psi. It is a good safety device for any FI application too.

Sorry I didn't read your whole thread yet, but depending on which model dyno it is, it could be readying anywhere from 10-20% lower than other brands.

Great results.

Casually, I learned the same thing yesterday on my car. Lol. My situation a bit worse, my black gasket is broken. Will let you know if it's available for replacement or have to buy the full keg assembly.

So do you thinks that's what made it loosen up? By chance do you or anyone know where the drain plug is for the gas tank?

[Dustin@Dynosty]

the rubber gasket is replaceable, around 20-30 bucks though, a word of advice, take the rubber off the fuel canister and set it in place first, then set your fuel canister down

the fuel smell is most likely from you not getting the lid tight enough, (if vibration is loosening your lid, you definately didn't get it tight enough) if you are not using the SST tool to tighten the lid, you need to go out and buy the largest set of pliers you can buy and have an extra set of hands to tighten it, one guy can hold the pliers in place (as the jaws will most likely not be able to be held with one hand and get enough stength to tighten with the other... but one can hold the pliers by the handles and the other can grab the jaws and spin the lid tight. Make sure the arrow on the cap is lined up with the arrow on the tank

[Ethereal]

is there a 14 psi pulley and is it safe to run on the stock block?

That's how we tightened it last time withe the arrows lining up as well. We put it on tighter then it was before taking it off. Are the arrows just to tell you it tight enough? The smell was the gas that leaked out there was gas on top of the tank I'd like to take the keg out but there's way to much gas in there to mess with.
