We should get together one of these days at Rage for a dyno. They only charge 50.00 bucks a run.
I am going to get mine dyno's and a little tuning since I think I tuned it pretty close. Then install the 2.87 pulley and look for an increase (hopefully). I ordered the pulley weeks ago from RMM and was told yesterday that Vortec cancelled the order-yet no body knows why. Should be in and machined by the end of the week.
What computer did they install on your setup?

) other than that the car is running fine. i have to get it finely tuned one more time though.
i have the smaller pulley 3.12 with the bigger injector, besides that i have nothing else for performance mods on my car.
any suggestions ??? my goal is to hit 360 rwHP and 340 rwTQ. LSD or TC will help???

You should be able to hit your goal with the 2.87 pulley and by the way vortech has a 2.65 pulley but it does require slight machining to make it fit. It may also be too small for the setup and reduce the power output. I am still working out some issues with the 2.65, initially it did result in a power loss for me but the loss may have been contributed to other items. I am currently trying to rule out those items.
Also slippage will probably be a problem with the 2.65 pulley.

so the vortech sells the smaller size pulley yeh? what are the sizes though? besides the 2.87 nad 2.65, but do they fit on our supercharger systems? which pulley are you running now?
also they have lots of upgrades too such as the Fuel management unit, and tons other upgrades.

Rmm does not have the 2.65 so that has to come from Vortech. I have both but am using the 2.87 right now. The 2.65 was slipping on my setup, it may or may not slip on yours. In fact I am going to sell the 2.65 and move to a cogged setup, my goal is to get to 500-550 at the rear wheels and slippage will definitely be an issue at the required boost levels. Plus moving to a cogged setup will yield a pound or two in higher boost than the standard pulley of the same size, at least that is what I am told and have heard.
The down side is that I am the guinea pig for the cogged setup so it will be several hundred dollars for the custom machine work since I will have to essentially change all 3 pulleys and maybe the idler in the setup.
My SAFC is doing fine for the fuel managment so I will stay with it as long as I can. I have heard that the standalone systems can have a negative effect on throttle response so I am not real anxious to move to it.

guys the car runs perfect now!!! during the cold start the idling isnt that bad either, of couse a bit rougher than stock but it totally feel different!!! the acceleration is very good!!! havnt had chance to run my friend's M3 yet , but he rode on my car and he thinks the GS is same or a bit faster than the M3, only that the GS tranny has a bit lag......guess im gonna do the Level 10 Torque converter mod soon =)

The other way would be to remove the blower/injector setup. Intercooler can stay in the same spot. This will pass the visual.

I love that. It's all good if you know some one that can help you pass smog.
Wink. Wink.The fun part will be selling the car.
Which basicaly means spending a SH_T load of $$$$ to return it back to stock.
