Noticed a little bit of belt dust on the pulley and the blower today while cleaning the truck. Ran her hard at the track Saturday, didn't notice any boost drop (not that I watch it like a hawk while running) and the times were consistent. Hopefully just belt break in...

I just installed a new cam and had a loss of 2-3 lbs. of boost as well just like KySilverado. I went with a Comp 220/226 .581/.585 on XER lobes. So has anyone ever decided if this was because of too much overlap or because of flowing a lot more air, and less restriction was measured by the boost gauge? Or maybe a bit of both?
