Ive had it up to here with this F***ing car!!!

[goofyguy]

Barry's mod never gave me persistant problems they were too random to really point the finger. I still think it has to do with the MAF angle. J-Man go out and make sure its still perfectly straight and not angled some how.

Exactly. He's gotta figure out what is going wrong. We watched 5-8 SRT's at Rice's house, spend an hour a piece looking for boost leaks, some never found them. Flo was only able to pull a 255 dyno run after hours of looking for his...

yeah i just installed my mopar riceplate and stage 1 today in a little under 3 hours, yeah that 3rd bolt is rediculous. people always say the mopar bov leaks a lot, but im spikin 18 and holding 15/16 all the way through 3rd and 4th. If you want to get something done right, do it yourself.

Not when the blower is bolted to the manifold baby!

Yea i think i will buy the AEM intake, and maybe that will clear up the problems with the maf. I didnt want to go shiney under the hood but oh well. Today i went to Import Face Off in shreveport and saw what was running..... Most cars were in the 15's!!! I could have beaten 85% of the cars that were racing... I saw a 350Z and a G35 both run 15's, numerous WRX's run 15's and 16's!! Some SRT's running late, late 14's.... I was so depressed... If my car were allright, i could have made a good showing! lol Even with these problems i still ran a 14.4 on friday so its all good. Im going to have to start a new post about all the cool crap i saw today. Really awesome.

I disagree, having a car shut off in the middle of traffic is nowhere near as annoying as having to track down a boost leak. At least the car still moves, I have been in some situations when the RL shut down and it was downright dangerous.

YES!! Like when i was driving on the interstate!! Not the ideal place for something like that to happen! lol But oh well, we will fix it.

It's not the car and the pulley alone. It's something else. I promise you both... I was just around a bunch of RL's, they've all used pullies of that size. They all run fine.

Do you both have home-made intake setups?

Not trying to slam on anyone, but ask SatredL. He was going limp all the time with the Korax intake. Are you back to stock yet...I thought you were going to call me? (sorry for the jacking...)

Yea im gonna have to get AEM, and maybe with the way the MAF sits in there it will be better.
