One big step closer to being done with this thing:rock:

The Roe got a makeover... top is now silver, bottom is black to match the valve covers. The cooler also got painted silver, as well as the front bumper... some paint was peeling off

. Had a breather system, oil cooler lines, Dpic and fuel pressure gauges from Stinker installed.

It's only making 7lbs of boost with the 10# pulley:dontknow:

for 635rwhp. I think I'm going to get that lower pulley from Tony, and see what she does. Anybody got any ideas on why it's not making more boost???

I'll clean it up some more, and get some better pics tomorrow. I have a few more little mods to install too. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, so I was excited and had to snap some pics

Who did the work? I would check to see how much boost you have @ discharge and what type of vac you have pre blower.

nycstev · Sep 26, 2009

if you did any porting it will lower your boost

Todd at A and C Performance did the work. I'll talk with him about that, thanks.

Your HP is good if it is only boosting 7 LBs....I have Stinker's 7" crank pulley and I get 11 LBs with Roe's standard 5.6LB pulley.

See you have a fuel pressure guage...what does your pressure read at 5500 rpm...

How much boost do you think it'd give me? I don't really want to go past 12.

My fuel pressure stays right around 62psi no matter what RPM I'm at. Kinda has me wondering if it's functioning properly or not. Shouldn't it fluctuate a bit??

Measure the diameter of the pulley on the Roe and I will check it with the 10LB I have to make sure you have the right pulley...I was getting 7LBs when I had the original crank pulley and 5.6LB pulley.

My fuel pressure drops to 57 at 5500+ rpm...

Looks real good there Brad! great work.

Ya, I was getting the same boost before too. I don't get it:dontknow: My pulley is exactly 2 3/4 inches in diameter.

I'll pay closer attention to the fuel pressure next time I drive it... I'll let you know.

2 3/4 is right for 10LBs....check the hose connections on the rear of the SC where your guage hooks end...you may have a loose line though my guage always stayed at zero when the line came loose....but you might also have a hole in the lines........you could also go by your dealer or other auto mech and see if they have a shop vacuum/boost guage to check against yours..

Thanks for checking on that for me.

My tuner said it never hit 8 lbs when he was logging it... so my guage is right. Or does the VEC use the same lines?

The VEC uses a line from the same post to measure pressure but it should not affect your guage..

Screw it LOL I'm just gonna get the lower pulley

I need another sticker from Tony anyways:marchmellow:

SrtBrad · Sep 27, 2009
