belt slipped about 1cm after couple of runs.. i don't think that's an issue.

the haltech reads upto 9.4psi (highest i've seen), so that's surely no slippage or leak.

other than the tune, what else can be adjusted/checked for full potential?

Update:

Haven't had the time to fine-tune the car or even retighten the plenum or the belt.

i'm taking alot of time trying to understand tuning and especially on haltech, and it looks like it's gonna take me forever to learn. because trying to do trial and error is not viable since i don't have anyone to drive the car while i monitor/read the parameters.. plus being busy with work + uni.

i'm in the process of getting Tomei TPs + headers + straight pipes to replace H-pipe on my Borla exhaust, and "maybe" cams at a later stage.

once i get those installed, i'll have it re-tuned on the dyno.

Update: (been long since last one)

Building the motor now, because there was lot of blow by, worn piston ring..

haven't driven the car since November 2010, all this time i was waiting for the vendor to send me the parts that he promised should reach me within couple of weeks which turned out to months of waiting time, and i had to cancel my order and deal with another vendor.

Anyways, parts arrived yesterday.. the build should start soon.

-Wiseco pistons - 8.8:1 cr, 96mm (0.020 overbore)
-Eagle rods
-ARP headstuds- L19
-ARP main bolts
-HKS headgaskets, 97mm
-ACL Tri-Metal Crankshaft Bearings
-ACL Tri-Metal Rod Bearings
-Clevite Thrust Washer set
-Pathfinder cooling mod (to cool rear cylinder heads)
-BC cams (Stage 2)
-Revup oil pump

I got those long time ago, which will go with the build:
-Snow Performance meth kit (stage 2)
-Tomei headers
-Tomei Test pipes
-TransGo Valvebody upgrade kit

Supercharger modifications:
-Upgraded blower including impeller
-Upgraded cog pulley
-GTM non-slip pulley

let's see where it takes me now..

Sounds like a nice build. Let us know what kind of power it makes. I'll be cheering from the sidelines with my big 'ol 3.33 still.

Out of curiosity what made you decide on low compression? (I think im remembering correctly that you were the one considering running ~10:1?)

to avoid detonation with our crappy fuel.. + if i ever think of going TT

8.8 CR with a S/C is a very bad idea. Don't even bother wasting your money on the S/C upgrades and dyno time. Just sell the vortech and purchase the TT setup now. You will be very disapponted with the outcome.

a friend is doing +450whp with almost the same setup.. and my goal is just 400whp.

TT is a future plan when im done with the SC

congrats Mahmood can't wait for the new setup

That should be an easy goal. Mine makes that much with just the kit out of the box with the 3.33 and stock motor with a super conservative daily driver tune on 93 pump.

Thanks
