well, went to the track last weekend...ran in the 1/8th mile...I had bad wheel spin and wheel hop but when I regained traction, plus for some reason, I am getting real bad belt slip at 4000 rpms+ on my SC pulley...yet I still ran a 9.9 in the 1/8th. The second run, I removed my small k/n cone filter because it was dirty and when I took off I snapped my halfshaft(the fat one on the right side)...and I was not running slicks...just street tires and I launched around 1750 rpms. Here are my questions:
1. Why am I getting belt slippage on my Supercharger belt? It is a new belt and it is on there good and tight with the tensioner having lots of room to go still and I am running a 5% alluminum OD pulley. Could it be my stock intercooler not flowing enough or could it be I need a better flowing filter being it is kinda small? I get about 13 psi at 4000 rpms then it backs off to 10 when the belt slips and stays that way to redline.
2. I broke my halfshaft on the right side...Do these wear out at the joints alot(thats where it broke)? Am I ok with replacing it with another stcok halfshaft from an SC? Or do I need to look for a stronger one?
Any help would be appreciated...thanks guys.
Here is what I am running
95 SC 5-speed
3.27 gears
Open exhaust...gutted cats...not resonator or mufflers...just pipe
5% od pulley
3/4" raised top
CAI in fender...Conical MAF 6" diameter...open front in front of filter as well.
