Re: ZZ383

Ummm...... you gotta be kidding me. Even in a 1500 lb. rail high 8s seems just a tad unbelievable.

Putting that aside for now, a pulley change should always drop to the bottom line in boost. Depends on how big a pulley change, but also on whether you've gone so far that you're slipping the belt. If your cam is holding you back you should be seeing the opposite- more boost, but power not improving much.

Also, your website seems to..... um..... not exist. Can anybody tell me what that smell is that I'm smelling?
