My car just made 640 hp and 600tq at 19*.

I know with e85 these cars love timing so how much can I really throw at it to get the numbers up??

I ran my up to 26 degrees with E85 and made the numbers in my sig! The very next run I blew the head gasket!

Seemed to love timing, started very low and it made great gains all the way up.

It starts at 17lbs then goes down to 14lbs. I'm thinking some belt slip is going on.

You should probably fix the belt slip before adding timing. Your power will go up if you can keep the boost level up throughout the rpm range.

Yea I don't know how. It's the steeda 10 rib kit. With the 19lb pulleys on it.

That's a good question. The car is at the tuners so I can't actually see the car. But he told me the symptoms and that's what I'm assuming.

I had bad belt slip with a smaller pulley. I would go from 12psi to 5psi in a span of 200rpm. When I took the blower off the belt dust was layered under where the pulley sat.

How did u fix it?? I wish there was a way to make it cog drive or chain drive. My 04 cobra had belt slip and frankly this whole belt stuff is pissing me off. Lol.

I had to change the belt. I know I still have some because I have the dust. Just not as much. I'm still running the 6 rib set up. One of these days I'll install my 8 rib.

24* and 27psi. Didn't try any higher than that on the dyno. I wish I had the money to put the heads and cams that this beast deserves. Would make at least 120 more rwhp I bet.

That's interesting. I went up to 23.5 with a Whipple at 15psi but power didn't change much past 21 IIRC.
