Mcjaguar, Nice! And except for your chromed wheels, we have twin STR's. Did you know that she's been lowered? Get underneath her and read the manufacurer of the springs (H&R Sport, Arden, or Mina). Also check the supercharger pulley...Should be greyish/steel. If it's black then its either the 1.5 or 3 lb pulley upgrade.
do you WANT some chrome wheels? 'cuz I'd swap straight across for someone who does. I'm not lovin' 'em.
And I'll be sooo stoked if I've already got a pulley upgrade. I'll check that too.
lemme ask ya something: will my UltraGauge tell me how many lbs boost I'm running?

Nope, didn;t know she was lowered! I hope it's a good spring. I'll take a look and report back.

well, Boost is listed as one of the (84) parameters it will display. My question was more a question of compatibility with the Jag protocols.
So I don't yet know, but I'll keep ya posted. The car's still not here! :-(

If you do measure the boost. Please post back. I am still convinced that Jaguar bleeds off boost with the bypass valve. I don't think we are getting the full 13 lbs. boost but would like to see some real world numbers.
Compared to the super charged Lincoln LS that runs the smaller 3.9L engine and the smaller M90 Eaton blower. He runs 350 HP and 370 TQ at the wheels. So comparing that to a stock STR, Jaguar knocked the 4.2L way back in power. I am sure it was for warranty issues but there is certainly more power in our stock STR's!!! We just need to find it.
