Baby, married, demoded to save dog from cancer, bought dog five months, miss her terribly. remodded car, car runs good, got a new job, paid 10,000 worth of credit cards since november, saved house, building an intercooler, getting ready to smack nick for being mean. When did this place turn into Clubgp?

Im going to throw a set of headers on this week an see what happens i mean other than my intake and northstar kit the car is pretty much stock it just amazes me that gm can justify putting that much timing in the car from the factory especially with a blown motor an for what a couple more mpgs

mods are
northstar kit
ngk tr6
stock pulley size

I think the spike from 6# to 9# is wierd. I saw a guy with a 66 corvet normally aspirated build a engine and show low numbers for the build. he added cutouts to bypass the exhaust and gained 90 hp on the dyno go figure. I have a old van that with rattleing in the cat could cause restriction. I still think exhaust could cause spike. Boost creep would be ok WOT tune should be ok . How about belt slippage untill it gets hot then hooksup driving the blower quick to a spike

no belt slippage, the pulleys are fine and the belts are new, the headers go on this week so i will see what that does but thanks for the info every little bit helps
