If I rub a little WD40 on the belt when it's running it will stop squealing for a few seconds but then come back. The new belt stopped the noise for about a week but now it's back. I got my TVS from OTTP with the pulley on. Perhaps it's possible the pulley is on backwards? Does someone have a pic of what the proper way to put the pulley on is? I'm running out of ideas!

This happened to me when I frist installed my tvs and my belt was off by one or two teethes. Don't knw if you fixed the issues but hope this helps out in a way. TVS FTW.

I thought staged was always keeping his eyes peeled for GMR cams. Maybe ask if he's interested. To bad your motor is on hold

TVS is ******* awesome! Can't believe I went this long having the car without it...
It's about a 6hr ride from my house, so I left my house about 1am got there about 8 their time. Got the TVS in and have a spot on tune, then my IC pump took a **** lol...
Clutch install took about 6 hours with breaks here and there. Honestly feels alot like the stock clutch but the grab is far better..
All in all 12 hours of driving and about 10 messing with with car....def worth it!
BTW I'm tuned by CCSS3 (James)

yeah, that was back in ny(cold weather) ~7250-7500rpm longtube header and stock axleback

when i get it back on though i dont expect crazy numbers...91 octane, stock manifold/dp(3" exit), 3" res, stock axle back

i dont think i will be able to crank a whole lot of timing into it

still want/need cooling though. single pass, griffin, phenolic im spacer(this will be first if i cant just do them all at once)
