Below is a picture of my Aftercooler progress. Smaller pulley is now install, but for some reason I'm not seeing as much boost as I was expecting. In addition I have started building a forged piston, low compression motor.

370hp & 291ft/tq at the wheels, drive line loss is 17%, so at the crank it's 445hp & 351ft/tq give or take a few.

Update: 2-5-08

New Dyno numbers - up 20hp to 390 and up 17ft/tq to 308. Installed smaller pulley. Still gotta finish the new motor and get the intercooler done. Base on the new numbers roughly 470hp & 371ft/tq at the crank.
