Keep the CAI, I had one and now its on buddhas car. I loved it. It pulled hard on my car. And Im pretty sure BuddhasTC loves his cai too. lol

Hows the car running by the way?

 

I guess every car is different I'm running a full cai and 9.5 pulley and I am running good a/f's across the board a little too rich up top though. I would get a wideband before you start playing around with things, this way you can see if you are having a problem. A emanage wouldn't hurt either you could pick up some good power with a good tune.

 

but which is better S/C and 9lbs of boost or S/C with CAI? i think more boost = more power right AHAHAHA.

 

hmm .. this thread seems to be getting a bit more interesting ... but how about this ramdom thought .... would it hurt boost levels if you were to use the light weight undercrank pulley as well, b/c i know on a turbo setup that you would be losing boost if you had the undercrank pulley, but it seems that with a s/c setup that if you run lighter pulley you gain more boost, please for give me on going a little off topic and sounding like a noob but im more familier with turbo setups but i would like to know if it would work the same way with a s/c setup.

 

From my understanding, the if the underdrive pulley is the same size as stock, then it will allow you to get your rev's up faster, thus boost quicker. If your pulley is smaller diameter, then you will be loosing boost. If I am wrong, please someone let me know. I am learning as I go!

 

Are you tuning @ 7psi, Im very interested in what kind of results you are going to see... 7 or 9psi?

 

Smaller S/C pulley will result in more boost, larger pulley = less boost.

 

I meant the underdrive crank pulley, sorry I was not clear there. This is what I am running:

Right now a little rich...just got the emanage installed and set it kinda rich until the dyno tune tomorrow morning at church's...

and for 06superwhite...it will be at 9psi with CAI and catback exhaust

 

Sigh....

Underdrive pulley = underdriven crankshaft pulley

the "underdrive" is not a part on the car, nor an area of the engine

Now a lightweight, stock diameter crank pulley (see how I didn't say "underdrive pulley") wouldn't change the boost levels. There is much debate that the undamped nature of all aftermarket pulleys could seriously damage your engine, but that's a totally different subject. To me, the risk vs. reward makes leaving the stock pulley on the car the better option.

 

I got the emanage ultimate for my car. It will always be better to run with a piggyback. You'd be surprise at how much more HP you'll get from a car that has a one and one that doesn't with the same mods.

 

Sorry guys noob here but what if you put header back exhaust? will it lean out then? and can you run the intake with no pulley and still be safe????

 

header and exhaust got nothing to do with running lean or rich.
running lean or rich have to do with Air and Fuel going into the engine.

 

really????
hmm.... the o2 sensor might read something that may effect the air fuel ratio...my $0.02

 

The main adjustments are made from the front o2 sensor so it shouldn't make much of a difference with a header maybe a cel every now and then.

 

so what happened when u run 12lbs of boost? that'll definitely needs a piggyback or emanage right ?

 

Yes without a question and you would also need 550c injectors 12 lbs would need more fuel than the trd injectors could handle.

 

with the 9.5 lb pulley bigger injectors are not needed? Also if i decide to go intake + 9.5 pulley, is it safe to put that on first like a month before the emanage? Or should all of it be done at the same time?

 

with the bigger pulley, you should use the injectors that come with the supercharger kit. With an intake, i would recommend getting the emanage or any other piggyback as soon as possible so as not to detonate your engine

 

Does it run lean in the higher rpms? How can i ensure that the engine wont detonate during the time getting the management installed and tuned? I have an auto s/c
