Yes Colombo emphasized a good point. I'd rather be tuned by one of the best in the vq35 community with not so great numbers than higher numbers. So just remember you probably got the best tune money can get you. There's a reason Hal is so booked up.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the numbers go up higher by a big chunk once the intake temp issue is sorted

Stock pulleys on the accessories, z1 crank pulley. The cogs are just on the supercharger side of things.

Conway you don't want that. it likes a shock. The Radius Rod needs to be a fixed length. Otherwise the bracket will Flex.

I tried it out, I can't even push it will all my strength enough to move it, I was moving the whole car. So I think it's solid enough to hold the bracket from flexing

I have solid engine mounts the engine isn't moving. I'm saying without the brace you can grab the bracket and move it a 1/2" easily. With it on there I can shake and move the whole car just by the blower and the damper and bracket didn't move. We could argue what you think all day but in the end I have it on my car and this is first hand experience and you don't have it so that pretty much settles it. Thanks though

How many years of hands on experience do you have in Automotive Engineer, with Mechanical Mechanisms being your Forte.... ?

Like I said, No more help, you guys can struggle along at the beginner level..... good luck.

LoL I would think for your age you would act a little more respectable. You always revert back to trying to degrade people, I have seen this on multiple occasions whenever you disagree with someone.

I've made it perfectly clear about what is needed here, and provided examples......

But still you guys go the WRONG Direction.

It is much more important to me to guide people in the right direction, than worry about if they are offended or not.

Not trying to put anybody down or degrade people......

I'm dyslexic and I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words.

oldman350z, can you post your AIT log from your dragstrip logs?

YOur IC review thread said your pulls were only to top of 3rd gear. Thats only a few seconds. A 45 second pull as meanz did would be a useful comparison. His top of 3rd pulls were only 20* difference over starting temp.

That would be nice to see^^ also these pulls were slowed down obviously a lot on the laptop so you guys could see everything a little better just incase anyone wanted to know that didn't.

I installed the rod brace. Haven't seen any difference with the gauge in the car. Still seeing 22psi on it. When I checked my logs, my boost was in the 21+ range but never hitting 22. It did seem a little more consistent with hitting 21 in the lower gears. I have a new belt on order. Can't really tighten this belt anymore.
I also wasn't able to get many runs last night. To many other cars on the road and I don't like to fly past people in a wot run..
