funny thats what i told my old lady today

 

I would suggest some guages and have someone look at your tune / install

 

yeah going to see shariff is a top priority now.. but i want all the rest of mods i will be doin b4 i go there.... does the ssv help and more than a spacer?

 

I heard the ssv is horrible. Dont get it... The Crawford one is good...

You might not necessarily get belt slippage.... But since your belt was sooo tight probably no slippage. since you had it on only for a short time you probably wont need to worry about bearing damage. But misalignment like tires will increase wear dramatically. As for noise, you probably wouldnt hear it if it was just recently installed. It probably isnt too off but because you have a combination of the belt being too tight and it not being aligned it wore quicker.

GL with your fix.

 

well i changed the belt today and a big difference on the sound at idle, and alot smoother sounding.... i think i still have boost leak on my plenum spacer though.. going to seal it friday after turkeyday

 

You're in for a looooong riide buddy, as soon as you fix this issue, it wont be long until I see another thread that pop up with another problem you ran into, not trying to be mean, but heads up bro, and good luck to you. Hope to resolve your ses light issue also.

 

You can thank me for saving you $700. The SSV is a waste of money. I'd rather have a stock plenum.

The codes don't necessarily mean you have a problem. Without a wideband gauge, it's impossible to tell if you are really running rich/lean. It's just the ECU's way of saying that something isn't quite right for an OEM car. That said, I usually don't see those codes on UTEC tunes.

 

well thats why im coming to you ASAP.. im in nashville now, family lives here, i live in florida... probably going home through ATL, so if you guys r open friday ill stop by and check out the place and set an appointment... i didnt drive the G so it will have to be next week or 2?.... should i get the 3.12 or the 2.87 b4 i come? what else should i make sure i have?
my list now is:
1. 3.12 or 2.87 pulley
2. wideband
3. boost gauge

what else can i get to get to 420hp/350-380trq?

 

I'd stay around 370whp on the stock block. I wouldn't go any higher, because if you are it will be a time bomb.

 

We are closed on Friday. It's one of the two or three times a year that we are actually closed. But you can sto by and look through the windows....don't mind our Rottweiller. He makes a a lot of noise, but is harmless.

On our dyno, I base Vortech does about 350whp or so. I would do the 3.12 and we can probabl get to about 370-380whp. This would be about 400whp+ on a dynojet. Very vey safe.

 

kool, well ill probably try to make it up there in next week or 2 for sure
