Twin Eatons alive
Well, she lives. Decided to fire up the Malibu today. Seems quieter running the two with the BOV then with the single without. After she warmed up a bit, and a quick look over, blipped the throttle. A quick rap to 4200 showed 8 psi with some belt slippage. I'm all grins... BW

thanks everyone..
cost so far is around 900.
I may do the cone thing for now, just to get filters on it
I have to adjust the drivers side unit forward a 1/8th" I am just a bit out of alignment.
Did get the rear supports done and a brace from the TB to the intake tube.
Last nights run netted 10 psi at 4200. Damn I need to get this bugger road worthy. cheers, BW

so i looked at the site you mentioned... and they linked me to here:
http://www.canadiansupercharger.com/

Part maybe that a 80 Malibu did not come with a smog pump. Also it had a carb..
but the numbers were real clean.
HC's 17.5 ppm, limit 157 ppm.
CO .03%, limit 1.98%
I do have a 3 inch 2 way cat.

you know what d00d for the power it seems to have those times suck ***. Are you sure those wern't before you added the superchargers. maybe you should also get some 18in wheels on it with a 9 or 10 inch width, like porshe wheels. that might improve your times a lot.
