I was wondering how long your SC usually last in terms of till it breaks. I noticed lots of guys over in the S10 forum having to replace or fix their SC's after 10K 30K miles or so. I would imagine that they last longer than that and maybe they are not keeping up the SC as properly as they should.

i wouldnt keep the belt tight all the time on a blower that didnt have HD bearings, but weve beaten the S-trims and p600s pretty hard and theyve always come back for more. the only one i had to get rebuilt was when i broke the snout of the crank off of a stock shortblock in a mustang at half track after the clutch let go at 6600rpm. it locked the blower up and windowed the block.

I plan removing the belt when I am not needing the extra performance. This can be done and the motor will still be able to breathe right?

you dont have to remove it, just loosen it a little.

It was drawing air through the s/c. It worked okay with mine with the MAF and O2s keeping it from running too badly, but it was rich and got about 10 miles to the gallon in town, 22 on the highway. It acts like a governor and will only let the motor rev so high before it runs out of air. |

Worse, I can't keep my foot out of it. ;D Just driving around town, the gas lasts longer, but I have yet to run a tank through it where I don't get on it several times. I am sure it is better now even with the steady resistance of the s/c. Drawing air through the s/c is like having a really dirty air filter that just won't flow. If I had to guess, I would say it is probably getting 6mpg better city, 2-4 mpg better hwy now. It only had a basic driveability tune on it to include the 65lb injectors, but it was (and still is) on the rich side. |

Jeez, that sounds nice and violent. i broke the snout of the crank off of a stock shortblock in a mustang at half track after the clutch let go at 6600rpm. it locked the blower up and windowed the block. I have experience with P600b's and the one I had lasted forever. Keeping belt tension at a reasonable level is the key to making them live. |
