Hey Buddy. Glad to hear you've figured out an option. If I remember right you have a vortec supercharger right? Are you having to really spool that up to get the power and torque you want. I bring this up because I am building a twinscrew 1.6L replica of the Ess Kit. I have the Ess Stage 2 software and another forum member (joint project) is tweaking that software for the build. Its been a slow project. Life has gotten in the way often. I will do a seperate thread with all the details, but I have a 1.6 lysolm S/C already, just making brackets, etc. I have an intercooler and plan on running meth/h20 injection. Anyways, I"m hoping that maybe the difference in the nature of how the units build boost might spare me from a similar fate(if high rpms plays a role). By virtue of the pulleys I have to work with, I have estimated about 10-12 psi, which is maxing it out I know on stock internals and pump gas, etc. Let me know your thoughts.
