RE: went to the dyno yesterday

how much octane does that 104+ octane booster bump your fuel up to, say if you start at 93?

Heres gonna be your problem right here. Expect the seals to start leaking oil at about 5K miles.

You are going to have nothing but trouble with this supercharger if everyone elses experences mean anything.

octane boost, like the 104+, adds about a point of octane

I heard NOS brand is the best though - but I dont have proof.

RE: went to the dyno yesterday

There are two different 104's out there. One is in a red bottle, the other is in a black bottle. The red bottle stuff is for "street" and the black bottle is for "racing". The stuff in the black bottle is the stuff you want for the street; it bumps the octane a decent amount more than the stuff in the red bottle made for the "street". These products are the best octane boost products for newer cars, short of unleaded racing gas. Don't bother with ANY octane booster with MMT in it.

RE: went to the dyno yesterday

i just changed the bearings and belt last week, it was down for almost 5 months before i finally located some bearings on ebay. i do not drive my car hard, well maybe on occasion. i do not want to replace bearings anytime soon. i purchased a smaller pulley belt, it's actually 3.5" shorter than the belt that i originally got with the charger. i also had to rearrange the idler pulley configuration because the belt is much shorter. since i've owned it i've swapped out pulleys 4 times so obviously the stock belt wouldn't be sufficient. i also noticed a small amount of black rubber buildup around blower pulley due to slippage now i'm hoping the next time on the dyno will net me huge gains. not sure how efficient the blower is up to 15 psi at high rpm's. i does pull pretty hard though but again i don't want to be blowerless anytime soon.
