Mo Boost finally
Finally got the new pulley and CAI installed. CAI is not finished as I'm awaiting a K&N filter yet, but for the time being I'm using the "top notch" Autozone $24.99 special. WOOHOO.
REady to get flamed for getting the 2.4 inch pulley, but I they were out of 2.5'* at Pulleyboys, so I went with what I could. So far so good. I get some KR but no more than I used to before the mods, so that'* good I guess. All I can say is 2nd and 3rd gear pick up effortlessly now. 40-100 never came so quick. I'm a happy camper.
In order to run a smaller pulley than a 2.5 you should make you're engine breaths better. CIA and full exaust with headers. If you produce a lot of boost you want you're engine breath freely or else it will be strained; and you could, not likely, but could pop a piston.

It doesn't have anything to do with headers (which aren't available for the 92-95), but we do have more efficient manifolds. It has to do with spinning the M62 faster than it was designed, and getting into it'* inefficient zone where you're producing more heat than boost.
Pop a piston?
Heard it on clubgp. Some of those guys are questionable and i'm still new to this supercharger thing so i'll beleive almost anything I read.
But when I read it I thought, hmmm... people throw nitrus on these and you're telling me I'd pop a piston running a 3.25" on a series 2? Rriiiight.

. My I/P volt-meter says 14.1-4 volts, and if I read it at the battery, I see 13.1-4. My fuel gauge.. I don't even want to know if that is off, and neither with the oil pressure. My speedo is usually off by a few mph, but that'* okay, and the tach is off by about 200rpm consistantly. -justin
