I guess my ECU was in "Sybil mode"; I has boost, less boost, I has boost, no boost etc.
I can see how a slipping belt or pulley will make high boost, low boost and drive the ECU insane trying to keep up.
I will see if my trims build again.
Need methanol now, I do not like where my A/F was heading.
Light foot till next weekend's new methanol hose.
Pretty hoses:

Dude nice load number--i can only hit 160 at 8.5 K My A/f's in that range is in the low to mid 11"s but my timing is different. I am at 20 degrees --i see you are at 17. ??????
Christmas came early i now have the moroso air water coolant tank ---sure is nice--- 3.5 qt capacity with fuel cell type lid and nice threaded brass plumbing fixtures. It will require a little fabrication to fit but it will not be a big prob---Moon and Cam ya'll ought to include this in the kit Man-- for approx $175 it sure "upgrades" the install. Looks so much better than that very functional plastic bottle. Seriously.
Also it was time to get a "real" tool chest. Summit has a Clarke, 9 drawer lockable, roller bearing, tool padding already installed, VERY well built chest for $165. Best price I could find for this type of chest.
Guys---trust me on this one ---get the tank. Pics as soon as I can get it installed---right now I have Honey do stuff like installing a hardwood floor to finish. Grumble.

Cam knows you track your car....
With the MAF readings I have, I really don't know if more advance would help me though.

Brass hose ends are a much better option that aluminum ( and cheaper )

Id recomend that all the owners that are having slippage problems check the pully bolt before you try cranking down that belt to much. You might cause damage if it is the problem like to much tension on the crank pully. And if you still have that copper nut after tightening it and lossening it alot im pretty sure its gona lossen on its own.

Before tightening the belt more, check the pulley bolt in the center of the top S/C pulley.
I torqued my S/C pulley bolt to 65 ft-lbs with a two foot torque wrench and a giant belt type oil filter wrench, Moon suggests snugging it down with an air impact.
Tightening that top S/C pulley center bolt made a huge difference.
Note: The top S/C pulley is partially seen in the upper right side of the attached picture.

Next time I have the belt off, I'll check the pully tightness using a oil filter belt wrench. With the compressor belt on, it turns. I can barely turn the belt to 90, it just seems like it should be tighter.

no --belt no tighter than that--too much tension on that belt ---and well you know.
One thing i have also done is to put a lock nut on that belt tension bolt.
I have two nuts on the bottom of the bolt with the threads scored beneath those(make sure to give yourself room enough to loosen it so the belt can be removed) THEN put a lock nut on TOP of the adjustment arm(same bolt). That way everything is nice and tight and solid.
Also dont use this bolt to adjust belt tension. Use a leverage bar to push the tension pulley where you want it--tighten the brass nut a little (its will hold the pulley true and square) THEN tighten the bolt snug.
That will do it
?--what torque is on that allen bolt?
