It has been really slow for the past 4 or 5 days. And when you try to quote someone or post something it takes forever for it to process.

yes, 2.9 RR pulley & IDR the size of the balancer, 10% I think. The most important thing is fuel.

Anything over 3.12 or 6200 RPM's has belt slip. Start with the 3.12 and see what your setup likes. My setup was good but it could have been better. Hp isn't everything. My setup would have been a perfect daily driver at 550-580 but I tried pushing it, over spinning my blower, dealing with surging issues and don't forget I was also playing with E85 to get me past to the 600 mark. Also, all my numbers for this final build were based on math and street racing, not dyno's. (although they were for the first and second build 436 and 535)

Mimicking me wont do your car any justice because EVERY car is different. If you wanted to copy me then you would have also needed to have the exact specs of my internals and my cams. ...there still would have been differences.

Oh I know every car is different so I don't expect to see exactly the same thing. I am just hoping to get an idea of the problem. If I am still no where near where I should (10% OD and a 3.12 should get me around 550 I think) then I know belt slip is not the issue. Not over spinning the blower is the proper way to do it, and its what I should have done originally.
