I have not received an email or message fro Tracy so IDK exactly WHAT it is. Perhaps it was an oversight on something that should have been included in the first shipment.

As for fairness I DID technically pay for my pulley waaaaaaaaay before anybody else did.

Leaning heavily towards just installing base SC kit sans HPFP and OD pulley for now while I get used to rocking the FI way. I know the tune is pretty solid for that setup. Then maybe I can determine whether or not to go from baby bear pulley (stage 1) to mama bear pulley (stage 2) or to papa bear pulley (stage 3). It's going to be a fun ride.

V6owner · 07-10-2012, 08:40 AM

Lol I was just joking. But you might be in my situation I'd you go standard pulley right now. I think you have the tune for the OD pulley

SC2150 · 07-10-2012, 09:48 AM

Jak, we sent the new HPFP and catchcan converted to the dual valve. Also, whenyou get the kit, PM me a picture of the bracket ends where they bolt to the engine to make sure I didn't miss a machining step. If I did I'll tell you what to do.

No pulleys yet......but you have one of the standard size billet pulleys to use until the overdrives arrive.

And yes, Vince has been great, but is slammed due to demand....but he will get the HPDI big boost tune perfected. The 6 PSI tune is great.

V6owner · 07-10-2012, 10:02 AM

Indeed sir! You will be in love with the standard pulley also

Thank you Tracy. I'm cool with all that. As a complete FI noob, I'm thinking that the base kit setup and tune will be the best route to go for now. I will send pic of the bracket ends. I'll try and connect you with Jon my installer. He's going to checkout some of the V6 FI threads to start looking at the system. We'll see if we can get this baby installed this weekend. Obviously, I'll need the base 6# FI tune to start off with.

Also do you guys have the oil breather cap in green. Would go better with what I'm trying to do under the hood visually.

Well we'll see what happens then.

BaylorCamaro · 07-10-2012, 03:25 PM

I'm not sure what OD pulley size I have atm (just PM'd Tracy) BUT I think its just too much for my stock fuel system to handle. After going with the SC build, super chiller and upgraded rear diff I just don't have the money for the hpfp + installation OR a meth kit, which according to Vince should solve my issue.

Thanks for passing that info along, Baylor. Sounds like you are in a tough spot my friend. That sucks. I guess it a learning process for all of us. It just kinda cements my decision to go base kit to start off with. Chances look good that I'll be boosted by Monday.

For the time being, especially since you think you'll be boosted come Monday I'd go with the stock set up for now. With Smoke sending his car back down to Tracy, there's a good chance that they'll get everything figured out. I'm just going to wait it out and see what they come up with.

SIXJAK · 07-11-2012, 02:38 PM

It came! Tracy here's the pic I think you need.

V6owner · 07-11-2012, 02:39 PM

SIXJAK · 07-11-2012, 02:41 PM

I'm lucky, as my husband was as excited as I was about getting the upgrade, and he did the install. I feel sorry for you guys with wives who don't understand.

SIXJAK · 07-11-2012, 02:47 PM

Cars @ the dealer getting a rattle in the transmission tunnel looked at they gave me a loaner. I don't even want to know WTH this stain is. Holy freak this is hideous.

SIXJAK · 07-11-2012, 04:58 PM

We may begin install this weekend.

V6owner · 07-11-2012, 05:06 PM

Oh six I was referring to riki lol

SIXJAK · 07-11-2012, 05:42 PM

My wife is good with the SC she's buying it as a gift to me.

She is just not aware that it's been paid for already and now delivered.

Really? Tracy I have always been a fan of you products but thats not pretty. I think for both strength and cosmetics that multi piece bracket should have been one machined piece of aluminum. Seems like a few to many ugly welds to fail. Imo

Macrackie · 07-11-2012, 06:06 PM

Is there more backetry holding this unit in place? I have never seen one in person installed. Seems like there is more maybe outside of the photo?

Gotcha.

Good question.....I've seen pics of HBMikes which look killer. Very clean. Would love to see riki's as well.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say we'll prolly never see MIR's twins.

The super charger is mounted in the car pretty solid, if that's what you're asking.
