    Two drives so far. First time it sucked. Knocked bad and fell on its face. Called up Bobb M and talked it over. Put in a new O2 sensor, set total mechanical to 26 degrees and added an eighth turn to the idle screws.

    Next ride. Pulled hard at part throttle but AFR's are in the 14's. Will need to work on that. Next full throttle from a 20 mph roll. Pulled it into low rolled it out an nailed it. Things started happening fast. I had just enough time to see the AFR guage hit 10's and throw a shift, see it hit 10's throw a shift and let off. Need a video camera to record stuff.

    Going to go back over the car and check everything and do some cruising. Have to get measurements for new driveshaft and get that in then I can lean on it a little harder.

    Congrats on the first ride with boost. I've been following your build.

    How much crusing have you done?

    How much boost are you getting? (If you have a guage that is)


    Will post after I get mine out of the garage :rolleyes: .


    Do you have any more pictures of you set up? The one I can see, looks different than mine.

    So far I have dropped mine in gear and let it roll forward and back about three feet.

    Also, how many belts do you have turning?

    I have only two. The charger of course and one for the water pump/alternator.

    I use a D-1 not a D-1SC. D-1 uses a oil feed/ return with the motors oil system. Makes for a much different bracket because I must have a return line out the bottom of the superchargers gear box. It also looks like I am a little lower and tighter to the motor than your setup.

    I use stock 3 belt pulleys. Right now running alternator and power steering pump. Eventually want to run air.
