    I should have qualified that, I dont think it would be a worthwhile turbo cam to be honest just supercharged. This would be the X-P cam, I think for 99.9% of the people on here the X-P cam would be better for them than the XPZ (unless someone here gets a wild set of heads [img]smile.gif[/img] ).

      I tighten my belt down a few days ago and now i'm seeing 6-7 pounds on the grooved 3.12" pulley. I still need to try the alt. belt wrap,drop in the walbro 255 pump and have the 2.90" pulley grooved, but other than that the car feels outstanding. I think next month I will have it dynoed and maybe take it out to the track.

            I knew it was my piston rings leaking and a valve cover but I didn't know the valve guides were leaking. I had just replaced the pass. side ones about 8 months ago, so it must be the drivers side. I didn't check the heads since I put a different pair on. If your going to have them milled the machine shop should take care of them.

                I can't recommend enough that you get the Walbro as soon as you can (or some extra pressure pump). I was running lean on 7 psi of boost because my stock pump could barely do 60 psi of fuel, but everything feels much healthier now (and much faster) that I can push the proper amount of fuel pressure.

                P.S. It was an easy install, too.
