I drove it to Vegas 3 weeks before El Paso, so it didn't need the exercise. I got a flatty out in Vegas so I couldn't risk the tires on a road trip, and the flight was cheaper than gas, but after the rental car who knows. :shrug:

Here is a shot of my HIDs:

Sure, did anyone give that shop my phone number? I thought Eric did but I'm not for sure because nobody has called me or anything.

If the supercharger is making a wierd noise then your belt could be too tight, I've heard of that robbing boost before. You could also have a leaking supercharger gasket, which would be wierd since it's made of metal. Your bypass valve could be broken, or maybe there's a paper towel in there <---LOL!

What kind of wierd noise? The only kid I've heard of that lost boost was this kid who rebuilt his motor and then mysteriously afterward could only hit 10lbs though he used to hit 17-18 before. He still hasn't figured it out.

Okay, does he have a tune at the moment? I know you can get by without tuning on those for a long period of time.

No he doesn't. But he is for real though. He is already asking for you're paypal so he can send a deposit. I told him to settle down and to go sit in the corner cause it is not for sure yet.

If I get to go back out there then I can help him for sure. I've tuned 3 silverado already and found them just as easy as the vette and GTO. As it looks right now I'm trying to get something going in San Antonio, but that's REALLY far away from El Paso.

Yea I saw that. Even left you a good reference
He might be willing to travel there. I will let him know.
On a side note, I called gabe and he said he was gonna e-mail me my dyno chart but I haven't got it. I guess he is busy.

Mine just sounds like 2 of them running at the same time. LOL

I'm hosting a Google Video of a startup of my car. When it finishes processing I'll post a link. It's a vid from my cellphone inside the car.

its like a whittling noise, like the supercharger wants to push but somethings keeping from boosting.

Here's a link to a teaser of what my car sounds like at idle. I do give it a touch of gas (BARELY) from 1k to 2k rpms.

Does it make that noise at idle too, or just under boost? It could be possible that your boost actuator thing on the side of the SC is staying open and bleeding air off before the blower.
