Possibly higher da than when it was “dialed in” before. Possible belt slip. That’s a pretty small pulley. Smaller they are…. the more prone they are. Does it ever squeak at you?

Not saying it isnt slipping. But its a griptec paired with bwoody idler to get more belt wrap

Do you have an idler? My car made almost no boost without an idler and the 2.69, now it makes all the boost

I spun horrible any time I try to bring up the rpm, but I have a 3.70 rear gear and 315/50r17 mickeys on 17” beadlocks, I cut a 1.50 60’ all the time, should be better when I drop to the 3.09

I don’t agree on the 2.75 thing. A 2.75 and lower with is similar to the 2.55 is quite a bit faster. But yes need to combat heat. If I Remember right he has a chiller.
Demonology tested on the dyno, but that was on a 2.7 blower, so.....

Hellno tested at the track and went slower but didn't have a chiller so....

Lots of variables. That MPH is really low though for the setup. I was trapping 137-138 on 93 with a 2.72 pulley.

There has to be something wrong with the setup. Jon has my tune only car trapping 131mph with a down fuel pump at 41psi. My charger is full weight at 4640

Personally I'd try a 2.75 pulley just to see. 2.5 and 10% lower should be like 20psi and he's seeing 16? I bet it's belt slip. 2.5 is just too small IMO.

In the beginning while my HC was still in the 10's maybe 10.5 or 10.6. and Josh saw then, that an idler was needed and a Bwoody was installed.

I have a n ATI %10 and a 2.75 Upper. 18PSI But I also used Q16 and I am going back to using it this year!

So this week you are 1/8th mile racing. Here is one of the logs. In this log you can see you let off twice during the run which will kill mph. I would have to go back and find a 1/4 mile run. As far as belt slip it should be black under your hood if it was slipping that bad.
