I'm planning on it. As long as no jobs pop up between now and then I will. I'm going to be starting on the body work soon also. I'm not sure I want to take the Monte out in public just yet. Its kind of an eyesore.Quote:

I'm glad that I could get you to choke on saliva at least once this holiday weekend.Quote:

I know I can tell you that it feels like the boost comes in instantly, but with this I can show you.
This is at cruising speed, 20% throttle, -6psi intake pressure. Note the time, 29.45

This is 83% throttle, 6psi intake pressure. "I'm going to call it, time of boost... 29.75"
Attachment 21732
.3 seconds to go from -6 to +6 psi. Not too shabby in my book.
I'm working on a manual tensioner now that I should have done today. Hoping I can squeeze a few more psi out before switching to a 10 rib
Got the tensioner made. I threw an old idler pulley on to show how it assembles. I think it will work good. It'll be a pain in the ass to adjust, but hopefully it doesn't need adjustment often.

Assembled unit.
Love the new tensioner!!!
And that boost is coming in just fine man.

New tensioner helped me pick up another 1.5# but its still spinning. Ordering the 10 rib stuff now...
