How about that beer?
Well guys, since I got my car back, I am ready for that beer at Hooters now.
Just say when, I will even buy the first round of pitchers !
Now, how can you pass that up - let's just do it on a sunny day !
By the way, if I had to describe my car with the new setup, I would have to describe it this way.
It's like owning a pitbull, not very friendly and a little un-predictable !

Hey Glenn,
Glad to hear you have it back... Yes I would love to see your car as well.
Hooters in Ontario I think would be the best, they have a larger parking lot and easier access too!
I believe you are making more power than I with the T-trim so I can certainly relate. On the throttle can be a handful
Once we can get through the rain

There is also a couple pictures of the engine bay as well. The engine was spec'd by myself and a local machine shop did the work and assembly. It is basically a 383, all forged with Callies 4340 crankshaft, Lunati billet steel rods, Ross custom pistons, custom ground cam, AFR competition ported 210cc head with larger valves. Static compression is at 8.7:1. Vortec T trim with Gregs 8 rib blower drive pumping 12 PSI of boost with Gregs Methanol intercooling. There is a bit more in the engine than what the dyno sheet shows, its got a good by conservative tune to make let the engine have a long and prosperous life.

I have lots of pictures of Glens car. Shoot me an email and I can send them to you directly. tjwong@qwest.net
The 3625 weight number is the spec I have. The actual weight maybe different. It should be within 100lbs or so.

Looks good. I guess you can't run an electric wp with this setup. What computer and tuning do you use? What do you think the cooling limits (in terms of hp & psi) are on the "Gaseous Intercooling" setup? I guess and 8 rib system won't slip on a 12-15 psi T-trim? Thanks again

tj, what size pulley was used to achieve those boost numbers? That is very interesting about the pulley. I'm one of those guys that has struggled tons of times to get tight belts onto the pulley. I can't tell you how many belts I've gone through trying to get those things to fit.
Also, what pulley part # did you swap on the tensioner? How much bigger did you go measurement wise?

how much bigger is the 85 mm pulley? I thought the stock on was about 3" or 75mm. You wouldn't happen to have a part number or even brand for the replacement pulley would you? I searched the catalogs up and down when I was looking for a bigger idler but I could never find one that would work. I was trying to find a 100 mm one but they were all in narrow widths.
