    Teach Me Supercharger Basics

    Supercharged guys please help

    SC If you're running an FMU, the SC should really have no effect on idle unless maybe the lines to the FMU are reversed. Could try clocking the MAF. How does it run under boost?

    SC tensioner pulley

    Need help. The plastic pulley that came with my Paxton 1220 has ridges (looks like where the pulley was put together form 2 pieces) and is real scuffed on either side of the ridges. I suspect belt bounce and slippage. Anyone got a number of a steel or aluminum replacement pulley? The stock...

    Who has experience w/ street slicks, how much will they help? Also if I do hook, what are the chances of something breaking? I don't want to change rims or do suspension mods, would just like to be able to spin less in 1st and 2nd.
