Default 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.

Watch that kr in hotter weather. It can be a real killer.

Maybe I'll just have to go for a 2.4 instead??? 2.4 and 2.5 THAT big of a difference with KR?

Yes, it'* that big of a difference. Wait for a stock 92/93 pulley. Killing KR is not an easy task.

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? I've been running 12 psi for over a year now. And I've yet to see an L67 pop a piston for ANY reason.

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.

How much psi does an M62 have stock? 9-10ish? Well that'* at least what it says on my boost gauge.

Headers do help reduce knock. equal length headers would be great but they'll have to be custom.

GM gauges read one thing, and mean another, trust me . 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.
