My collector was too small, now it's a 3" "Y" going into a 3.5" collector. Boy did that cool off under the hood.
Now for the stupid discovery. I think bernd was saying something about the small air cleaners that came with the Powerdyne and this was my first chance to pull it out. My air cleaner is a K&N that came with the Powerdyne kit, and it's in the fender well, I pulled it out and it was crushed. I don't see how it even ran.

Thats normal oil from the PCV system. When the pan gasket goes it will be way worse than that.

CW I thought that the PVC would blow oil thanks, but when I pulled the heads off the pan looked just like that and the gasket was blown in a couple of places. My thoughts on that was it may be different do to being supercharged.
When ideling (Right after I resealed it) I was getting 18in vacuum. Now it's back to 16.
I dunno, I don't have anything to compare it to.
And yes I tend to drive it like a rental.

The gaskets tend to push out on all vehicles I am not quite sure why. On ones with the plenum leaking badly there are literaly puddles of oil in the intake.

Tire spining bad, and belt slipping only made 5psi. That was my first run and it got worse from there. I think the fuel rails are too hot. I guess I have a winter project now LOL
Anybody have a spare set of fuel rails for a 5.9?

Oops Bob I forgot to post the 1/4 mile MPH.
14.782 @ 95.58MPH <~~~Best time (with passenger)
15.685 @ 89.23MPH <~~~Worst time (without)
I got 8 passes in 3 hours
I think it has Gibson headers the cat is an aftermarket but not sure what make.
The exhaust was already dinked with before I got it. I just had some tweaking done on it, by going with a 3" Y pipe to a ported collector and a single 3.5" all the way back. Before I did that the temps were high under the hood and at night when I came off the freeway the headers were glowing. Now it's cooler and it doesn't sound like it's pissing through a 1/2in tube

I have the 6#er on the charger for now. I want to iron out the bugs before I go cranking on it. Besides I don't think the belly pan is holding up with 6# anyway.
I can get 20in if I'm decelerating, but at idle its 16in.

Yeah, I lost a pound. I think it's because there in an obstruction in the discharge tube from the elbow. I just got a steel discharge tube made for it so now it doesn't blow off like that POS plastic pile that was on it.

FMU is installed, I pulled the fuse on the aux pump. It was leaking and loading up at idle not the mention it wasn't working.
The injectors are a must! Even with an FMU. The power was much smoother and the mileage went up a couple of points. Now there is a difference in designs in injectors so do some research. Mine works great but it trips the MIL. The laptop is telling me to rich just before boost. I understand it doesn't have that effect with most engines. I am running the FMS disign III cobra 24#.

so the pcm and injectors are taking care of all of the fuel needs? you dont get any pinging with the way you are setup?
do you have a A/F guage? what does it read underboost, or what does the lap top tell you underboost?

The A/F on the laptop says it's ok at 6# but you can see the curve heading to lean. I do get detonation, but I notice that it's directly correlating with quality of gas. Keep in mind that when I changed the head gaskets I went with a thinner gasket. Stock was .060" and the MP gasket was .030". Not sure without calculating, but the compression went up.
