Like the combo. So you making 9-10lbs? How much more can you get out of the SCi?

Thanks.
I was seeing 4# with the stock pulleys, now it looks to be right between 5 and 10lbs, 7.5 - 8 maybe.
Since I flow better than a stock 93GT/lx Vortech said "I will see less boost on the gauge, but should be flowing much more air than a stock 93".

Looks like 17lbs and 750HP the sci can be maxed to at 53,000 RPM.

Per their calculator I am spinning @38,000 so I have a ways to go to max it out.
I think I am happy with it right now. For now anyway.

Wet sand/polish project complete. Didn't sand the entire car, just places that needed a good reviving. Came out pretty good. The 23 year old paint is showing signs of its age. Still looks good though.

New rotors and pads front and rear. Tubular rear control arms and bolt on sub frame connectors are next I (don't want to weld on it). LED instrument panel lights next weekend.

That's a good idea, convert the cigarette lighter to an USB hub. I see it had different voltage outlets. Witch one would you use for charging a phone?

Haven't given it much thought, I know the higher one is the one I am using and it charges my phone pretty quick. I guess it would depend on the phone. I will look into that.
