OH shit.

Ya, pulleys in front need upgrading. Belt just won't hold for boost. Same problem as before. Need to find some 8 rib fronts. Ugh........... hits about 5000 rpm and DIES because the belt breaks loose.

Car only makes 540whp with belt slipping like crazy. Good thing is it will be over 600whp tuned conservatively but ... need the front upgrades.

Did the tune fix your low vacuum and brake problem you were chasing?

It did not.

He did say I had no air leak. Said he's have seen an air leak when tuning.

I have no clue what it is causing the vacuum deal.

Did you install your cam, sprockets, chain, or did someone else do it?
