Has anyone made a plate that mounts inside of the powerpipe that directs air back towards the blower so the MAF will not get the (backsurge) of air? It does not happen under WOT and only when I am part throttle> I know for sure its not the fuel because I have monitored the fuel gauge closely.
Thanks for any help

hey was up
I had the same problem with my NOVI2000
what I did was add another byepass valve to make it go away so I run 2 byepass valves now

what happens is the smaller pulley creates more air pressure between the SC and the intake.

the MAF reads correct air flow into the SC but what is happening your pushing to much air into the intake and the car has to add more fuel there for makeing the car idle more

when you add anothere beypass valve you releave the pressure between the SC and the intake sure you are resurculating the air but you are not pushing any more air then you need

what iam trying to say is you need anothere byepass valve and it should fix your proplem

hey if you have any questions give me a call ill try to explain a little better

Thanks guys!

I have heard of flipping the MAF but does not make sence why you would do that I mean i though it only reads one way of course i might be wrong

any ways I really sure if you ADD anothere bypass valve it will take your problem away

I talked to Byron and he said that because we're supercharged that the 50 shot would equal more like 100 at the wheels. So> 150shot would equal>?
lol.
we'll see?
he he
Hey, are you trying to run with WIKD 281> or just want to keep close
Just got back from a test drive> I moved the MAF and it solved about 75% of my problems! I am amazed.

Probably have better luck running him
I'm sure that you're 2 valve will kick some ass when youre done> I dont think anyone is doubting that! I'm sure we'll get our runs in as well> I might need to take out my 200pound stereo to run you tho> just to make sure that it will be equal.
How much power you planning on putting to the rear wheels?
Later dude

well iam hoping to push the same numbers you are as close to 600rwhp
thats why i might go put a 50 shot just to make sure i get there

but i might not need it
will see couse i have a 3 inch pully on my novi2000rr and a power pipe
wich should push on a stock motor around 20 psi
of course with all the head work I have done to the car it will bring my BOOSST to about 17 but will see once i break it in

when i had my original motor it was showing afthere 5000 rpm 10 psi and with every 200 rpm that the car was climping i would gain 1psi
i would only take it to 6000 and it would show 15 psi of course the motor blew up
i never dynoed it or even got to run it at the track

but with all the head work iam getting done i should be able to rev to aabout 7000

I am not saying ill beat you or gabe but
iam goin to try to give you a run for you money

so was goin on with you ride gabe when we goin to see it run at the track I want to see where the mark is set at wich ever time is faster you or harold thats goin to be my goal to beat in my 2 valve i mean hey if you guys run low 9's or 8's well shit i now i wont beat it or come close untill my next build when i add a 5.4 motor

but iam sure if you run some 10's ill coem close to them

To all his own.
No pun intended bro.
I hope you get your car tuned soon and I hope you pull some awesome numbers! But> My car is not on the same playing field as you because my car is a street car and not a race car.
