    6.5lbs @ WOT on a 3.4" pulley

    Thats w Open cone HAI, Ported TB, Ported inlet/outled S/C, St2 InterKewler(w/ PCV notch), Ported lim, headers, catless catback, 1.9' modified rockers, zzp tune.

    I think it's probably about time to drop a pulley size.

    Where is all this proof that ZZP tuning sucks?

    Anyway, on topic.

    I see 27psi or so.

    Turbo's don't count...honestly since it is in the supercharged section. Also...plenty of people, including me have had issues with ZZP's box tunes...others have not. The OP has had a blown motor...if not more than once.

    So...yeah.

    Its every bit of a L67... sorry I dont have a m90...

    Anyway, I would like to see the reasoning other than "blown motor"... Is it too much timing? too lean? To "blow a motor" with a "tune" is requires some extreme mistakes.

    If you got the balls, I'll let you borrow the pulley


    Dunno why you guys don't see more boost. With cam, rockers, IC etc etc, I was still kicking it at ~15psi at the top fo the gear
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I see 9-10 PSI.

    Never noticed much more power if any.

    Just an improved throttle response.

    You're not allowed to talk about tunes.

    Whatever you're using to check your kPa should be showing your Boost & or MAP.

    ya i use HPT, my point is that the Map is actually Maxed out at about 5500 RPM's while shifting at 6100

    HPT calculates boost at 13.5-14 PSI, but the actual number at the top of the gear is unknown
