Im planing on geting a ESS kit in the spring and would like to avoid this happing to me , thanks

The G2 has a ring that fits over the inlet of the supercharger to bring the diameter to 4" from the 3.5", and that ring is held on by two set screws that are flush and they loosened up from the heat and vibration and the ring came off and it went into the impellers, it chewed up the impellers and sent the little metal flakes flying everywhere. The G3 and G4 don't have that ring since the inlet on the blower is 4", but of you get G2 then I would suggest putting loctite on those two set screws.

I'd get your tune checked out, those plugs are showing rich and lean. don't wanna break in an engine on the lean side.
Are u running an air fuel ratio gauge?

Those are the plugs I reused from my previous stock engine which broke a piston landing on cylinder 3 from the ring gap being to tight and 15lbs of boost, I threw then in this motor after the new engine since the were practically new when I put them in previously. I have since gone with new ngk tr6 plugs and they are looking brand new. I use the Ballenger afr500 v2 with the can input and I use HP tuners to dial it all in on the street.
