Ok, I have finally got the Paxton on the 86' Mustang and checked everything out, everything seems functional. I now have the boost guage connected at the vaccum tree and went to get a reading to see what I'm pulling. I thought I would have gotten a decent amount of boost around 6. I seem to get getting around 2-3 lbs of boost and that is only at WOT. I went to check the belt and seem to be showing signs of slippage so I tighen it down a little be more and checked again. This time I got an average of 4.5. and a little sqeeling noise at the higher RPM, seems to be coming from the blower. and the belt jumped a little off the blower pulley.
I'm now a little lost for words. I'm new to the supercharging game here, so bare with me on this.
What would have caused the belt to jump like that now?
Also I noticed that the reading on my gauge at Idle is reading about 15- 20 on the vaccum side is this normal?
Now one thing I have noticed is when I hit WOT and get a boost reading I'll get around 3-5 and then it will start to fade downward before shifting, is this normal?
Also how much boost should I be seeing with the setup of the stock paxton blower pulley, which I believe is 4.25. and one piece crank with the 7" and 4" crank pullies?
Overall I definately feel the power on the streets, no problem with that. I just sort of figured I would have a more stable reading without having it at WOT all the time just to get a boost reading.
