I'll probably never put it on. I got a motorcycle to clean up now. So I want the money for that. I didn't post it in the classifieds yet, because I am going to Moab and Bryce for a week and won't be around to check email, etc. I'll probably post it up when I return. I fly back to Pgh the 11th in the evening.

I don't know if I'm getting off-topic, but can someone tell me how a water/meth kit works? Is it like nitrous? Why would you use water in the engine, if that's where it goes? Sorry for sounding like a n00b, I just don't know what this is and I have heard a few people talking about it. Thanks.

Some people run water/methanol some run water and rubbing alc and some water and heet and some prestone yellow deicer (not antifreeze ... its the yellow prestone windshield deicer). There are many variables. I am using the prestone and karl is using the heet. A guy at work..hes friends use the rubbing alc. Unless you run water and methanol you are getting a 1% detergent being put into your engine. There have been tests that say that it does not harm your engine at all ....not at all ....but some people do not like that factor and get pure meth and cut it w/ 50%ish water.

So what belt are you using again with that 14lb pulley? I'm really curious. (Size and brand)
And how are you dealing with belt slip? Seems like I can't get rid of mine regardless of what belt I slap on.

Mine works fine at night or when it's cold. During the day or when it's hot it expands the belt and I get some slip. I'm going to try belt dressing probably. I'd have to look and see what belt Charles ended up putting on. I know it's a gatorback.

I've tried daycos and gatorbacks - I've heard the gatorbacks slip more (do a search, it was definitely on here). I'm really interested in the belt size. Once you get down to 12 and below, sizing is a problem

Wed. 10/11, I will be back up there to drop the car off at ZPI for the wideband install. Can you give me a preview of your car then?

Enough prelim stuff scan the dyno sheets for all that's holy!
I'd like to see how much actual boost you're getting.... I have a nagging suspicion you have some pretty horrible belt slip
