mods are going on soon. hoping to get the last pieces on friday then the install. But the before dyno at fmfkids shop showed 255whp and 225wtq. not to bad. we’ll see how things change.

apparently that was with the wrong correction factor. it was on std instead of sae. so the numbers are actually a lil less than that.

> I’m getting some new mods over Christmas break here. I’m finally doing the whole exhaust thing. Going with a clear image auto 4-1 mid length header with 1.75" primaries going to a Stainless steel 3" catless downpipe. This will connect into a cobalt 3" Hahn Racecraft catback lengthened to fit an Ion. Connected into the header will be an Autometer EGT gauge (unless people recommend a different one). Then I will check my IDC% and probably have to bump up to 60# injectors. Also I will be hooking up my water meth injection kit from AEM. Once that is done I will probably be wanting to add a bit more boost and drop to a 2.8" or 2.7" pulley. Depending then on my IAT2 numbers I will then probably take a dremel to the s/c and do some port work. Hoping for around 280whp. Last time I dyno’d I had 245whp on a 2.9" with the stage II tune and stock exhaust. I think with a good tune and these mods on the same dyno 280whp could be achieved. Tell me what you guys think.

If you want, we will coat your 2.8" with a nonslip, metallurgically bonded carbide coating for free. We are in testing phase right now for this coating but it appears that it works perfectly and does not wear the belt at all. Pulley slip is usually an issue at these pulley sizes. see [carbinite.com](http://carbinite.com)  
The only thing that we ask is that you give us feed back. Thanks

you need to let me see your tuning setup when we fix up the exhaust. how much boost does a 2.8 pulleys come out to? what kinda lb/min does your supercharger put out at that level?

Ya I already bought the exhaust. Just needs a few things done to get it to fit.

Well its really not that big of an s/c. but with the 2.8 im seeing about 17lbs around redline, and I believe that it was pushing around 33lbs/min. But I would have to check again.
