Good to hear Ryan. I havent seen it around in a long *** time, i was starting to wonder if you sold it or not. Didnt decide to go Saleen S/C ? What size pulley and what are youre plans for tuning ? Im going up to Performance Dyno in concord would be cool to haul up with me and a Ls1.

its just the 3.60 pulley for now. i have no where to work on my car so i gotta take things step by step, and this blower project killed me. i sold the saleen blower and got a vortech v1. it sounds awesome, heh. its aftercooled but i hvent wired the pump yet, dont really need it at 8psi, but ill get it done one of these nice days. ive had endless little issues installing it, the fact my car is a 96 with an 01 motor really screwed things ups, but the worst thing was the weather, and i was pretty lazy and over confident about getting it done. parts screwed me over too, but the biggest pain in the *** was the fuel pump feed line not sitting right with the fuel line. i got a tune for md, seems alright, havent driven the car yet, but plan to tommorow. i do need to hit the dyno soon as i straighten this out.

I know what you mean about litle things that get you stuck cuz I had my tank down twice cuz I didnt get the fuel line on the pump right. I think I'm going to drop the tank one more time though this summer and drill an extra hole in the bucket to let in more fuel cuz one run I did seemed like it may have leaned out toward the end of the run. I had a problem twice with my blower in the beginning though cuz the bearing was making all kinds of noise. I sent the blower back to Vortech twice before they got it right. It sucked waiting for them to fix it. It was brand new too and they wouldn't replace it. I had my whole install finished in one day though. I did the fuel pump on a different day. Why did you only go with the 3.6 pulley if you have a cooler? Also read this page about drilling an extra hole in the pump bucket.

its pretty much a very high pitched whistle...and in his case since hes got the V1 its a little louder than my p1sc......oh btw KB whine is just awesome but i dunno about vortechs but my procharger has a blow off sound that u can actually hear when u shift in boost.
