i will sell you a pulley boyz 3" piece pulley that looks like the stock pulley. I ran the pulley on stock tune and injectors for a year with 0 problems. $30 shipped.

 

i just wanted to up my rev cuz it hits it so quick....plus i'm tryin to find a tune cuz i wanna retard my boost by 50% in 1st......whats ya'll thoughts on that?

 

I think your cure for that would be to just use your right foot for reducing the boost in 1st.

Reflash we speak of resets several different tables for the "Stage 2" tune through GM. Also ups the revs to 7K.

I'm kinda confused as to what you want to achieve out of the car. You wanna up the revs because you hit redline too quick? And why are you wanting to reduce boost in 1st gear? Because of wheel hop or just because of tire spin?

 

raising the rev limiter is a good idea for drag racing cause you dont have to shift into 4th at the end of the 1/4...

no my issues werent fixed. the car is in pieces right now...

and def cool it down its cheap and good for the car and you

 

i figure if i reduce the boost it should help alot with the tire spin problem so i can launch better

 

it helps a bit but ive got mine down to 9psi and it still wants to spin, it helps but youd be better off with good tires and practice

 

what kinda tires you recomment....i got some coopers on there now but they don't do much better than the pos stocks

 

Uhm.... reduce it a little more as you go higher in the rpm range.. start at like 50 go down to like 25... i have NO tire spin if i do it right...

if your dragging, and your tuning right.. theres nothing wrong with a 7250 rev limit... thats what i would want to raise it to... But if your talking about hitting it fast in first gear, then you should just stop... First gear is weird on this car, but you shouldnt worry about it too much, as id want to get outta first as fast as possible...

 

thats my intent with the car so thats why i wanna raise it

 

i dont see a problem with 7250....

 

if your gonna drag race it, id get some inflatable footballs. put them in your rear springs and watch your 60' drop and your 1/4 will follow

 

inflatable footballs????

 

Yeppers....look at what hatrikstu did. He's running with 60's and a 2.85 but when you watch his video, the rear end of the car does no plant because he used inflatable footballs as "spring rubber" which gave him more front end traction. Also, you could look into an ingalls TD. you'll notice a difference in the car.

 

what is the Hatrikstu mod? whats it do? what where can i find the ingalls TD at?

 

Hatrickstu mod is the inflatable footballs in the rear springs(no lie). It keeps the back end of the car up in the air so you have less weight transfer to the rear of the car giving you more grip on launch. You can find the Ingalls Torque Dampener on pretty much any of our supporting vendorss' sites. I got mine from Turbo Tech Racing for like $160. Your shifts will feel smoother...a lot smoother, and your wheel hop will be reduced dramatically.

 

how i got the footballs in? just jack it up and put them in? and i'm changin my oil tomorrow any recommendations on filter brand? and should i mobil 1 it or got with royal purple?

 

I use mobil 1 only because that is the oil from factory. I've heard royal purple is just as good. Matter of opinion.

As for getting the footballs in...I have no idea...I think you put them in when they are flat, then air them up when they are placed inside the springs.

 

yea reallly once you get up into the mobile 1 and royal purp class of oil.... its just a matter of pref...

i used royal purp and love it....

 

the 2.9 and the 42 pounders arent going to really do anything for you unless you have the retune for the pcm. i bought my stage II kit from crateenginedepot.com for just over 600. it came with the 2.8 pulley, short belt 42 pounders, injector harness, and the retune. you could get it tuned either way though...the tune should unlock close to 30 hp.

 

there is a thread on here that states royal purple is only good for a few extra ponies, not a good oil for extended oil changes.

I would take Alphas word for it .
He is "in the loop".

 

wow dude seems to know his stuff....so mobil 1 it is.....

 

bump

 

-Stay running Mobil 1 5w 30 Synthetic
-Don't worry about going to Stage 2 or farther(Money is an issue)
-Either go with cooling mods cause they are cheap and result in small power gains or go with traction mods. That's pretty much all you're limited to.

 

I was running the mobile 1 for a while but i switched to the Valvoline full syn and with premium gas the car loves it. i am replacing my tranny and i am using royal purple for it. i am excited to see how the new tranny and clutch will do together with my exsisting mods...

 

so i'm contemplating the poly tranny mounts?
