How did your pulleys hold up on the Procharger?

The pulleys seam to be doing fine, but the belt is getting a workout. I had no issues for the last 2 weeks but on the way here I noticed boost was down. I had a spair belt so I put it on. It held perfect for about 10 dyno runs and then boost was a little low. Tightened it up and it was good to go. I have a little left on the tenioner. I hope it's all I need, otherwise I will be looking for another fix.

With the greddy kit stock injectors and the stock cat it put out 220hp and 183tq Jeff said take the cat off for instant 20 hp but since I'm selling the car I'll let my friend do it if he wants to. I do want to thank Scott Jeff and everyone else that helped put something like this together I'll definitely miss the 8 but I'll still hang around the forums to see what's going on

Holy smokes... I guess Mazdamaniac was pretty accurate with his 10pm completion estimate. Hope you guys are all set by now though...

Good times.

It was a long day but worth it... thanks to everybody, especially Highway 8 for organizing the event and Jeff for the tireless work. Let's not forget the folks in the shop either, thanks to them as well.
My car gained 15 HP by the tuning, wasn't expecting this much

It was great meeting everyone yesterday. I had a lot of fun soaking up some sun and talking mods. So many great looking cars, lots of inspiration.

Hah! Looks like I missed both BBQs. Next time I'll bring the lawn chair and join in for the long haul. Maybe do a pull or two too.

189.56 HP, 133.80 lb/ft torque.
This also means that the car probably wasn't making as much power before like the others do... it's easier when you start low

looks like you had a great turnout and a lot of success.

Grats to the procharg'd car for finishing new the 300 whp mark, that must be a ton of fun to drive.
tamas: 15 hp due to tuning? that's awesome!

that food look delicious, made me hungry just looking at it.

http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?...e_gdata_player here is mine on the dyno the cat is still on the car which is one of the reasons for lower hp 220 whp but the tq is pretty good at 183. The car feels and drives great now thanks to Jeff. Cold air intake is one of the next mods and might remove the cat before it ships to Germany. I will post the dyno run from the weapon-r facility when we do the cold air intake hopefully early sept.

Those are good numbers, especially the torque. The flame shot was pretty sweet, though I'm surprised to see flames shoot out with a cat. Exhaust sounds nice as well. I'm sure your buddy will love the car when he gets it. Yours and HWY8's numbers are pretty good (and the build is equally impressive)... Certainly got me considering the F.I. route when funds become more readily available again.

Cheers,

That sucks! I just missed this. My wife wanted to trade up... Her and I traded in her '04 automatic to an '06 6-speed manual just this week... BIG power difference between the two. I need to keep an eye out for when this Dyno tuning is happening again. I need to change the spark plugs first though.
