When I go WOT in pulls fine until it hits about 7 or 8 lbs of boost. Then it stops building boost and starts flooding really bad. I'm gonna change the plugs tomorrow cuz I haven't changed them since the motors been built about 8 months ago. I hope that's what's wrong with it but any other possibilities you guys can throw at me I'll check as well. The car was running good a few weeks ago and it suddenly started tearing up belts. I found out that the seal in the blower where the shaft comes out for the pulley was shot and leaking a lot of oil on my belt. I replaced the seal today and sprayed break cleaner all over the pulleys and belt to get the oil off and it does make a max of 8 lbs now instead of the 6 it was making with the oil on the belt but it's doing like I said. Do you think that when the oil was on the belt and it flooded so badly it took out my plugs? I know I should be changing them more often but just haven't gotten around to it.

No, gasoline isn't gonna take out your plugs. Sounds like your still having some belt slipping issues. I'd replace the belt and clean the hell out of your pulleys. There is probably still some oil in the grooves of the belt and causing it to slip. Although, this shouldn't cause you to run too extremely rich. Your MAF will read how much air is being ingested my the engine and if the flow levels out or slows because your belt is slipping, your computer should compensate and not add as much fuel. You shouldn't be flooding your engine.

wat kind of chip do u have? i kno my sct chip has an adaptive learning capability so its possible ur chip compensated for the belt slippage and hasnt gotten used to the belt acctualy gripping like it should again. or u could have a problem w/ ur injectors. my moms 5.4 f150 had an injector go bad and it would just start flooding fuel in like crazy at certain rpm's.

I've got a draw thru maf before the blower. If the plugs don't fix it then I'll start looking for a busted coupling. I don't see how a coupling can be busted and still allow 8 lbs of boost though.

+1, sounds like its still slipping to me. If you didn't replace the belt, its more than likely bad... they start to slip its over.

if the belt was slipping at one point it will "glaze" the belt and make it alot easyer for it to slip again. sounds more to me like a tune problem rather than a spark or injector problem, was it tuned for 8lbs?

It was tuned for 10 lbs. It's not the tune. The belt is brand new too. I can hear air blowing under there when it starts dying down but I thought maybe it's the blowby openinga little. I'm going to try changing the plugs and cleaning the pulleys good again and I'll get back with you guys with the results.
