GatorLCA-
I will try the throttle reset because I didn’t do that .

Parawxman-
Two track visits, three runs each, gets me six runs for a baseline on any mod and I think that is good enough. Not trying to decide if I like the complete SL55 setup, just not seeing what everyone has described (noticeable gains). I’m aware of all the variables and it’s not that serious for me to test all those variables. I think a 1/8 track is sufficient to measure performance. If it’s good for hot rods to test on, I’m thinking its good for a street legal car. I am lucky to have a ¼ track near by as well and will visit it once I “know ” what my car can do. Thanks for the ice suggestion; I will use that tactic on Thursday.

BB-
Hopefully Rob can come through with that test b/c it would be useful information and eliminate those variables.

Let me clarify the air box contributing to heat soak maybe I have the wrong term. I don’t know what the temp is/ would be on the stock setup. I have to believe that these larger SL55 air boxes heat more air (run hotter than stock), which is a bad thing, right? I’m wondering what temp the stock air/ air boxes are/ would be compared to the SL55 setup.

Steve-
I’m running the complete SL55 setup. I would hope the stock pulley could feed more air to the s/c if air follow area were increased.
