Hey guess what I saw today while installing my custom cold air intake? Oil inside the banjo and A LOT of it. I think something is fishy here. I am going to drive the car till it explodes and then sell the motor and supercharger for some dough and get a 3L. Hopefully someone at World Ford Challenge this weekend will offer me some good money for the car. The car isnt for sale but if I get a price I have set in my head it's gone. Then here I come SVT Focus.

If you ever bought a SVT Focus I would tease your incessantly! I don't care how fast you made it... Like I always tell you. Just let me drive it.

Sam just food for thought. 10psi of boost might not be any different than the power your putting at 7psi of boost. Boost is a measure of Air flow not actual power. I know you have hit upper 9/10psi with you setup currently but uping it more might not really make a difference. So getting that bigger pully might or might not be worth the wait or money. You air flow out of the the headers and Y will help you out and make a bigger pully more effective so you can inhale and Exhale with ease... Take a look in the past two MM&FF and read up the artical written every month about boost... Give me a call too if ya want. Mystery Mod, Y-pipe.... I know it all ranges on money...

How would it slow me down? I figured a smaller pulley would increase the speed of the belt rotation. Therefore the faster the rotation the more boost you make. My supercharger is capable of 10 psi and only pegging 7 psi right now. With some race gas (100 octane), custom cold air induction, and smaller pulley (i thought) could possibly peg the 10 psi. Someone help me out. I need to know by Wednesday.

Well by upping the boost from 7 psi to 9/10psi is actually a HUGE difference for me. It is dyno and track proven. I have a timeslip here with me running 14.777 @ 94 MPH with 7 psi. When I was making the 9/10 psi you guys saw what MPH I was running. So there has GOT to be a difference. Plus with Drag Radials I would think launching might actually be good. Just let me have fun in my car guys. I just went and picked up the race gas. Going to burn off the 91 octane I have so far and then I will pour it in before the track. So if it rains and we cant get out there I will have it for another day.

You crack me up. Have you seen the new Focus's at dealerships or anything? I think the SVT looks 100x better than our Contours. I am extremely jealous of whoever may buy them. But as I say you can drive my car whenever you want.

I ran a 15.2 last fall. I wish I could get this damn Venom working.
I am not expecting good numbers tonight, I am just going for the practice.

I didn't think you have ever had a bigger pulley put on the tour.... I thought all was all stock and when the weather is Nice and cool I know you boost has gone upwards of 10psi. If I am wrong let a brother know Originally posted by PhatSVT:
