Supercharger done!!!!

Supercharger done!!!!
Well, it's done. Now it's raining like mad. Install was so simple. Fired right up. We still have the basic stock FR tune in, raining too bad now to really datalog.
How's it run you may ask? Well the first few runs I'd shift @ 2-2.5k, car feels about the same, no whine from the engine. Came back, checked over everything. Second run: Went 1-2 3k, then hit it just a bit (rain and all) no traction, car all over the place. 30mph, 4th gear, stomped it, tach went to red line, tires spinning. 40-45mph, 4th gear, stomp, car just pulls and pulls and pulls. Small whine, I think, the LM1 are louder than the sc. Re-rechecked everything, put o2 guage on, made small adjustment to upper a/f, the FR tune runs it rich to help cool the intake. Highway drive: car runs great, very normal if you stay out of it. From 55-60mph in 5th you don't need to downshift to get moving, the torqe is awesome. 6th gear is nice and low. 65mph ds to 3rd and gang the f on. Hit triple digs on the speedo b4 you know it. Brian took over for a few runs. From a stop, 1,2,3 just spinning,4 gets you going. I wish it was dry out. I'm done for the day unless it stops raining. I don't like driving on busy streets like this anyway.
I also need help with camera, reading book now. When I try to upload it says file too large or file not reconized I can view just fine on my comp. Anyone have any ideas?

Ill tell you right now that the ford tune that comes with that supercharger is holding you back. You are trying to push a watermelon through a coffee straw, so get that car tuned right and youll be holding onto your wheel a lot tighter.

Damn! Ease-up on the ban thing...I'm on vacation after all. Here's the story as to date. Was to get tune done, well now it's off until Friday, shop ran into some trouble with another car and asked if I could reschedule, I said sure. My new Kodac z7450 camera will not allow me to post? I keep getting file too large, so I cut the pixs down and now get invalid file ext??? anyone please...I can view just fine on my comp. It's saves as jpeg.
I put the factory tires on so I could blow them up and not care. Car runs great, tons of torque, I mean way more than I thought it would have. I can burn the tires in 1,2 and 3rd. Just smoke and rubber flying. Midrange is awesome. I really can't wait to see the graph. We have the 7psi pulley on and I also have the 8 and 9psi but was told NOT to install, too much on the stock motor and no intercooler. Stock pulley is 5psi not 6 like the Ford website says? Brian said it's really like a tad over 5 so they rounded it up. Who knows, or cares. I'll be back in jax thursday night,(Orlando right now) so I'll use my webcam for pics if no one can give me a clue to what I'm doing wrong. Well, we're off to Citywalk. Camera help please!!! I'm going to go by Bestbuy also to see if they know what's up. More important things going on right now! Had to log in to check on my order, Late again!

does it say file to large when you try to attach them on here? can you get them onto your computer from the camera? if so just email the pics to me and i will cut them down and post them.

Damn guys, I haven't even put fifty miles on the car since then. This is the first few days I've had off in...Hell, I don't recall when. And I don't have what-ever that photo account thing is...never heard of it. Found oil in my rad last time I messed with it. Turned out to be nothing. The antifreeze was mixed, red-vs-green. Don't know...sat at the dealer for a few days until I could pick back up. I still have that pos camera, never took it back. I'll get some pics up this weekend...so ease the F up. I have a very busy life at this time LOL. Working like mad to keep you clowns safe, two kids in school, a wife who is ...how do say...high maintenence ( in a good way) and all the other stuff in life...Oh I forget most of you are like ten years old and don't know about life yet! See what happens with no sleep and no GT drive time...I get cranky! Any one in the Jax area what to borrow the car? Come get it. Make an offer. It's time for a gt500.
