Stupid desert heat!

If it were not for my job, I would leave SoCal in a heartbeat. I cannot wait until fall comes and the weather lightens up. So tired of 100℉+. I stare at my IAT2s and get scared so much.

Highway driving post blower temps are 120-126 and in city stop and go, 128-136. At red lights I've seen 143 before!

keep this in mind. the cavalier supercharger upgrade from gm had no intercooling period. those guys running 2.8-3.1 inch pulleys would easily see 200+ iat2

everyone with a cobalt thinks we have it bad lol

This entire summer we haven't broke over a hundred (at least in the west part of the state (WA).

I wouldn't survive a SoCal summer.

Add a few hp, just get an AC delete belt lol

Back to the E85 discussion...I discovered an ethanol Chevron station 31 miles from my house. So were talking a 60 mile round trip so maybe burn 3 gal of fuel in total travel, but I could always load up on fuel containers and haul it back lol.

Could take a string measurement of all what's required for a total length, then just shop for a belt that length
