I'm really hoping its NOT belt slip, and that its a gauge issue. There is a small crack in the rubber on the connector, so I'll get a new one and re-test. I have a gut feeling I don't have enough tension from the hydraulic tensioner, and will either have to move to a mechanical tensioner or a big crank pulley 
Still, the car definitely feels strong. Stronger than its ever been. Wants to rip through the tires in 2nd gear from 5000rpm to redline. The diff is pulling the car left and right with the traction control going crazy. I didn't realize that near the top of 4th gear is a pretty damn high speed |
tom has this car been tuned yet??
great news on the FP install :-) well done for getting in and having ago yourself!!!
