Hey guys some of you have probably seen my post on my recent FMIC project. After it was complete I was really satisfied, and it made a nice difference compared to the old heat soaking with the stock IC. Now heres the deal...when I took the car apart it was making an easy 15psi, before the end of first gear(auto) too. This is on a late model ported blower with a 90 pulley. So after the fmic was complete the car went straight to the drag strip for some testing, after warming it up a few times and snugging the t bolt clamps of course. The car made about 10psi in first and built up to about 14psi dropping to 13 between shifts. I was thinking when then car made its old 15psi it was about 40degrees out and on the day at the track with the FMIC, it was about 70degrees outside. Could just this cause this loss, and a more extended time to max? Ive done many checks and I cant find any leaks and the car makes about 18psi vac in gear. I then thought since it took longer to build it was a slipping belt, so I put a new Gates on from the js to the sc pulley. Could there be a boost leak I'm missing? or is the longer path and way bigger IC core causing the loss. Id really like fine the prob because Im missing some bottem end power that I really enjoyed
