K060516 belt looks the best...the 520 belt was above the top notch but hadn't came off since new tensioner. I have 514 belt also but it says almost a whole inch shorter than the 516 so I think tensioner would be maxed out. I'll try 514 if I go thru the rest of them but I'm going to run this one

If it were me, I'd lengthen the injector pulse a millisec... Just tune the NOS timer... You'll run nines.

You run nines yet?


Trying man gdamn :(

It's not happy sitting and idling and idling and in staging lanes idling for...same ol track sucks. So I have to make things work and run after driving to track and sitting an hour before I even get the first run off. If I could pull in, tech, and run in 10 mins it would be a whole diff story

also i think im only going to have like one chance to dive in the 9s, so im hoping itll be a pretty deep 9, cause they prob gonna tell me not to come back till it has a cage

Is there no room to make one of the accessories adjustable so you can adjust where the tensioner runs?

negative, alt mounts to the block, this bracket grabs the two alt holes and attached the idler to the block*, tensioner mounts to the bracket with one to the head and another to the head

i think we're good tho at this point, new tensioner, better pulley, belt in the right spot on the tensioner

Make sure you grab that time slip before you're kicked out!

They keep upping the price too, is the other thing that's getting annoying af. Dont really give a **** about the money but the track and the way its run keeps getting worse and worse.

Up to $35 for just test and tune, and if you don't get there when the gates open I'll be lucky to get 3 or 4 runs in.

i think ive got it sorta figured out. belt seems to be good, just went out n did a shitton of rips and belt stayed on - prob the new tensioner?

ac, it would work while parked and hood closed, ect stayed good, but just wasnt cooling that well. and also while cruising it would cycle the compressor every 10sec or so and high side pressure wouldnt hardly even climb past 180ish. so i charged a little more freon in it, parked hood open ECT started like 205 and as i charged it dropped to 198 so thats a good sign. and i got got chiller water to drop about 15* with the extra charge.

so hopefully at track, parked, running, hood open it will keep the ECT down and drop chiller water to low 40s. and cruising it should work better also running cabin ac and chiller.

parked hood close, or in traffic ill have to keep an eye on the ECT and prob bump the chiller pump way down to keep condenser from cooking till i get pusher fan in front

ive thrown a 18v fan in front of the grill messing with the ac and even thats enough to help..so i think installing a much larger fan in front and just wire it up triggered by the high fan command also will do a lot. it also needs it in traffic thats why im just going to "permanently" install one

But I "needed" a new nice car. Since I completely ruined my denali. Something for weekends dinner etc. Ford hybrid is just feeling ragged out lately, wind noise, gotta slam all the doors to close, dirty.
