Not much of an Update but I'm very Close, going to get it tuned friday the 29th at National Speed in Wilmington NC. I have a 3.33 Pulley and will set the redline at 7800 just to be safe. I also order me a BLV Boost Limiter Valve AKA Check Valve which works like a Manual waste gate just too keep things in control and safe. Pulley Size seems always to be a mystery so this BLV will help me controling the boost in case I make to much or have excessive Belt slippage but then again, maybe I will need an even smaller one. I don't want to speculate but 450whp is the goal, Friday will tell.
Everyone at work was fascinated with the BLV and had to play with it

what CR did you go with? nation speed has a dynojet right?
my guess is 380-420 whp on pump with a pretty fat tq curve for a Centri blower on this car. what psi should you see at 7800 wiht that pulley? what fuel are you going to use?

9.5 C/R, 93 Octane 3.33" Pulley. At 7800-7900rpm My guess is anywhere between 14-19psi, the supercharger will turn 51K rpms at 8000, so if you convert that into CFM it will be almost maxed out. So I'm thinking at least 15psi. It is a V-2 Vortech Blower
Not sure Which Dyno National Speed Uses, I hope it is not an AWD Dyno, since it takes more power to turn those drums. but my main goal is to tune it right and safe, I'm not chasing HP Numbers, I want good A/F Ratio and good Idle, since I plan on driving this thing at least 3-days a week.

JUST RECEIVED MY AEM FAIL SAFE BOOST-A/F Ratio Gauge from realstreet, $300
This is a Data Logger, a gauge and you don't even need a AEM Standalone u can simply hook up a computer to the guage a vie all the Information it had recorded. I might get one for my 72 Chevy truck which has a Carb

in defense of aem stand alone, you cant tune <adjust timing/fuel etc etc> a car with this gauge
this gauge is great for those that dont run a stand alone.
