i know my SI is hot to the touch when i get home from a drive. Never really had the SC blower working, before the bearings went so i dont have much of a comparison.
I know its definetely working harder bc we are seeing boost levels at 5-5.5k rpms that SC owners are seeing at redline.
Oil cooler is on the short list of immediate mods. My meth kit i'm sure helps alot with AIT (and like was mentioned wouldnt be seem by the UTEC since the AIT probe is before my spray nozzle) , but it doesnt cool the oil that feeds the blower.
Jet, is Sam still tuning yours?

Could you keep me updated with the AIT. I would like to know if its the S/C or something I did.

hehe dude your exhaust has to be bonkers loud
test pipes on a NA Z is loud as hell
supercharged would be like
especially if you reduced the big *** rear muffler
The H-pipe will probably bring a lot of the barking roar back into the sound. My APS exhaust sounded like *** before my X-pipe
yeah IMO you definitely want an H or X pipe - just something to connect the two sides. It'll end up being beneficial for the vortech

thanks, hope it works out for you.

you might want to get water/meth injection sooner rather than later though.
I am kinda starting to wonder if the REVUP maybe isn't as ideal with the belt layout as a modified non-REVUP's though when pushed to the absolute extreme. If you can get it to not slip, you should be good.

car looks great! the way you pull off the yellow/black combo works really well in all the pics I've seen of your car.
Yeah I don't know where you can add a pulley on the REVUP from what I've seen near the jackshaft. That horizontal top stretch of belt doesn't have enough room for another pulley I don't think, but maybe it might somehow, or maybe the lower pulley can be moved lower and made smaller to make room for an upper small pulley to be added?
that last long vertical stretch and only getting 50% wrap on the crank pulley are the two other problem areas with the REVUP
maybe you could do a "TIMROD" setup to it like this?

You guys are starting to run into your belt problems all of us do , including the ATI Procharger guys run into . And thats trying to turn a blower that gets harder and harder to turn as boost rises . and trying to turn that blower with a flat serp belt . Its only going to be able to grab that pulley for so long . When the boost gets to a certain point the blower is just to hard to turn and the belt slips . No matter what you do , as long as it is a serp belt , it will slip or try to jump off the pulleys . Even an all cog pulley system runs into belt problems when boost gets high .
