    If you're going to the trouble of machining the sc snout, why not go 2.55?

    You've got a good point, I had a 2.85, cut the snout and installed the 2.7.
    Did you go the same route or just go right to the 2.55? What boost does it make now?

    What kind of video do you want? I'll try and make one.

    Hell yea it does. The butt dyno is pleased!

    The only issue I've had in the past with uTune is that it would connect to the UCON but sometimes would not datalog. I've been able to make it work 100% by plugging the UCON USB into the laptop BEFORE booting. Works every time if I do that.

    I'm installing the resonator directly after the y-pipe. This is the muffler/resonator I ordered. It has really good reviews it seems a lot of people are using it in various applications to reduce drone and rasp with good results:
    $124 Vibrant Performance 1142 3" Ultra Quiet Resonator
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001806YE2

    I started out with the 2.85 pulley. I installed it on the supercharger before the supercharger was even on the truck.

    I decided to skip the 2.7 and go straight for the 2.55.

    With the 2.55 boost comes noticeably sooner. After driving it yesterday and today, I can say the 2.55 pulley is GREAT for a daily driver, which is my main purpose for this truck. I don't have to mash the throttle to get boost. I like it a lot.

    I've seen it get over 10psi here is a pic. I was trying to take it while driving so it's kind of blurry :D

    Thanks, that's my main goal too. Have you got the URD walbro pump or something stronger?
    I think I'll be ordering the 2.55 pulley

    When it all started I only planned on doing the 2.85 and nothing else. So I went with the 255 Walbro from URD. Had I known then where I have ended up now, I may have opted for something stronger. But the Walbro seems to be holding up so far.

    Sounds pretty good from here. Probably a bit loud in real life though.

    Did you have traction control on for it to only spin that much?

    Stock tranny shifting is so horrible...

    Traction control was on. I couldn't think of a good reason to turn it off. Tires expensive, lol.
