Here is my theory: With the added torque and horsepower from the modifications, the engine works easier, and it's harder to reach the 44% "load" threshold that our AMG power plant was originally programed with to engage the SC. Thus, it will reach the "2900rpm" threshold before it reaches the "load" threshold.
Does anyone else with highly modified SRT6 experience this? I've got big air and big fuel.
You have to have belt slip otherwise the SC would have to go from free wheeling speed to the speed determined by belt speed. Obviously that is not possible so belt slip occurs. This happens with or without a PSK, less slip would bring the SC up tp belt speed sooner.
