Default Found the root of my Problem !

During my trip to OCIC, my car ran like ****! No power, too rich, fouled plugs, etc.

Yesterday, I decided to dive in and see what was up. Nothing obvious until I pulled off the supercharger. Hmmmm that would explain it....The internal kevlar belt inside unit had broken! Engine was turning front pulley but no air being pushed thru. I`m amazed it ran at all.


It must have happened somewhere between AZ and Denver on the way over. I thought it was lack of air at 10,600 ft altitude. Duhhhh it was lack of air alright. Anyway, unit is out and we are back to NA. Car runs great again with some minor tweeking.

Jeez Kevin, at least your's still ran, and mine died. Radiator core let go in my driveway. I guess we were both lucky we made it out and back.

See you at 3rd coast!
