Bad news, first. I dont know what happened, but I lost boost, with the new blower. I only saw about 19-20#s everytime I had a chance to look at the gauges. I was unable to do a 4th gear and look at the gauges.
Speculations is I have a boost leak somewhere. I hear a vac hiss somewhere and the car runs a little rought when I give the accel a tap to match revs.
Speculation 2 is the port job I did no longer allowes the blower to bulid boost like crazy like before. I was really carefull with rotor timing and I stayed right around what MP brings up the smile on his MP112s
Speculation 3. Weather was around 75degrees, and air was humid. rain drops started to come down at the time of the test runs.
The good news is,
What ever I did to the blower seems to have worked for top end power. The car felt very powerfull all the way up to 6000rpms
But it gets better no weird noises from the blower, just the good old whine.
And just when I thougt it could not get any better, a silver TERMINATOR made a turn while I was waiting for the red light.
I chased him down, and pulled next to him, he did not care until I let him know I was packing a SC . I pulled away waiting for him to chase me.
Well he did and at first it was was a simple cat and mouse chase. I lost him in my blind spot and took it easy. Then I see him pulling away from me I had to wind up my car but it was too late. I chased him down and stayed behind him with what ever stunts he was pulling. He started to show off before approaching and intersection, He went a little side ways, And so did I but I grabbed and passed him, he was forced to get behind me because of traffic in front of him. We take this to the highway as we enter the on ramp, I see him taunting me. Once on the highway I gunned it, And so did he, I was in the middle lane and he started to inch on me but then I stayed right with him. I then had to slow down and dip behind him and he hit it again and he was unable to pull away from me, I started to gain on him then he must have shut down, The cars felt very unsafe at 80-90mph, I felt the car begging for traction over uneven pavement with raindrops comming down. I passed him anyways and slowed down, opened the window and gave him thumbs up and so did he.
Ad much as I was able to tell he had an very loud aftermarked exhaust and FR500 black wheels.
He was very surprised I must say.
Now I dont feel so back for not owning my Cobra anymore since my SC seems to get the JOB done anyways.
