I'd make the final drive shorter.

haters crazy
Can you run more than 17psi without going into limp mode? 180 crank pulley in addition to thebsmaller sueprcharger pulley is overkill. I have a modified 90mm weistec supercharger inlet and 90mm BBK tb with threads already for dual meth nozzles if you're interested. I took it off mine because the tuning just wasn't there for drivability

I'm not sure what PSI I'll be running at the moment for the car is getting put back together. For the Supercharger Pulley then I should remain with the 62mm instead of 56.5mm. I will look for that trend for 90mm TB and follow suit, what you mean for drivability?

I am just running the smaller upper pulley. I think with a 180 lower you will overspin the supercharger way past its max efficiency. I mean it wouldn't drive smoothly sometimes.

Change the differential gear ratio

How did your car do with cams and the weistec kit. My tuner and another mechanic told me they create too much vacuum. Just wondering because I really like the lope they make

The car does well I just recommend Anthony Lawshee from Race IQ Performance to do the tune. The loop is amazing and definitely a crowd pleaser too. This November 3rd I’m taking the car to do a TCU n Dyno Tune with Anthony. Without building the bottom end I feel max whp is 600-630whp max before you start to worry about it popping. I run Water Methanol and I LOVE it!! I hope you get that loss boost resolved.
