Just clarifying. Not saying you guys are wrong, but I read somewhere else on this forum that if you are running between 6 and 12 lbs of boost to run a .050 gap. he is peaking at ~11.5lbs

I ran 13 psi on a .055 gap with no blow out.Originally Posted by slow94formula

11.5 im only 2 pounds higher? his must be bad boost cuz of restrictions?
03-06-2010
Do you mean bad boost as in higher or lower?
My car has a 3.4 and I only run a peak of 7.5 lbs. I know my car needs a tune, but I was wondering if getting a tune will make the boost go up. That would not make sense to me being that it is a belt driven supercharger and boost goes up with rpm. Just thought I would throw it out there and ask since some of you have been so helpful with the other stuff.

having a restrictive engine = more boost
so in his case, not having the proper exhaust mods.
03-06-2010
correct...since he dont got headers..u bend delete blah lah..his stock stuff is restricting ..there in turn showing he has moore boost...when really its slower then stock

like bad boost as in false boost..aka like boost stacking
03-06-2010
that makes no sense at all. There is no such thing as false boost, boost stacking is just a bad term for not flowing well.

do tr6s or tr5s i forget
03-06-2010
colder temperature plugs will help a little, not much.
tr6's, tr5's are stock or apparently one range cooler, not sure i trust that one though.

I thought i typed it must have deleted it. Maybe a degree or so. Nothing major.

Ok, thanks guys!

ur 94 formula..that 350 or lt1?
03-06-2010
Both!
03-06-2010
I was gonna say... LT1's were 350 SBC's with a few changes from the gen I
03-06-2010
sorry! i meant LT1 or LS1 my fault
03-06-2010
The only thing that sucks is that the GTP is faster! Oh well, the formula is still more fun to rip through the gears in, and at least it is RWD. That's the best part!
03-06-2010
94 couldn't be LS1 unless it was aftermarket.
03-06-2010
LS1 came in corvettes in 97 and F-bodies in 98.

lol i raced a old school formula and it had red/orange #%) lettering on the fender i think..he flicked me off after i smoked him
