Getting 8psi pulley put in tomorrow, any tips?

Personnaly I like the idea of having a BTC installed so you can have your timing set a little higher (maybe 12 degrees) while driving normal and have the BTC pull timing under boost. Having a J&S is a very good idea also....I need to get one [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

My setup: Timing set at 13 degrees with the BTC at 7-8 clicks on 93 Octane.

I got the 8psi pulley on! its definately nicer. I could barely tell a seat of the pants difference, but i know i got around 10hp to the wheels faster. I had a bad launch and my friend in his celica GTS 6 speed with muffler got me by 2 cars roughly. This was with wheel spin through out first gear. I think it would have been alot closer had i learned a new way to launch the car.

I don't think you'll need a BTC if you have the new Ultra Safeguard, as it also has boost retard as well as mid rpm retard and knock retard. If you get the V2, it also has the MAP mod which is adjustable.

My setup is a bit different, but I'm able to use stock timing (16 degrees) with the BTC set on 0.6 degrees/psi retard.

This is with 94 octane though... And, I do occasionally get some very minor part-throttle boosting detonation picked up by a J&S Safeguard. It only pulls 1-2 degrees timing momentarily.

Tom what timing are you running and are you experiencing any detonation? I see 10psi in you future and a set of 290cc injectors let me know if you are interested....hehehehehe

lol. I can't afford a safeguard right now. hmm oh yeah I raced my friend's Si I/H/E i beat him by one car space. last time he ran a 15.6 i'm expecting a 15.5 quarter. I'm finally getting there! haha. 10psi eh? hmm. Maybe I should save up for a safeguard before i go 10psi.
