Default Re: 181 Pulley kit On- Problem cutting out at 5K

I don't have a wide band, just the simple ultragauge.

If I real gradually raise the rpms I can get it pull past 5000 before it falls flat.

Have you ever heard of a supercharger clutch being weak and not holding at high rpm.

Sure does seem like something is telling the supercharger clutch to disengage.

If the belt was slipping, I wouldn't think it would fall so flat so fast at the same rpm.
My money is on fueling. I've been there and done that. I know how it feels when it falls on it's face at 5k RPM's from running lean. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out. FWIW, I'm surprised someone that understands mechanics would up his boost by 6-8 PSI and not invest in a wideband. The engines are pretty cheap, so I wouldn't worry about it.
