Re: Vortech Questions.. Finally got it running

Ill install that tomorrow and drop the FP a little to try to fix it.
Anyways, I have a very restrictive intake between the mass air and the blower inlet, so I think thats holding it back a little. The pulleys should be good for 14lbs and Im only seeing 10-11ish. I have some questions though:
1 - 1st and second gear dont seem to get much above 5-6lbs and generally, 2nd doesnt pull like I thought it would. 3rd and 4th simply haul ass.
2 - at the top of 3rd and 4th around 11lbs, right before I let off, it seems to pull extra hard all of a sudden - eh?
3 - after a hard run, during deceleration, it sometimes stalls for a second and the CEL comes on.. it will then restart. Seems like its loading up and stalling??
All in all - its added a ton of power. It drives like stock except for the surging.

1- Amount of time in those gears is shorter, less time to build boost, probably normal for a centrifugal supercharger.
2- More boost = pull harder, every extra lb of boost will add 15 to 20 hp.
3- Too much fuel pressure, tps may be off.
4- Superchargers are gay.
