Stiegemeier Is Not Recommending 4#lower

[badsube]

Isn't this the exact same post from page five?

absolutely. they don't even have the common courtesy to post a legitimate response to everyone's concerns. they repost the same post which everyone has asked questions about. again, unbelievable. everyone that has yet to get their questions answered.... buy a kb or whipple.

Patience is the key everyone I know that Stiegemeier will post a legitimate response in due time that will address everyone's concerns. In the mean time we just have to be patient and wait for and update.

No excuses in my opinion...

As a manufacturer with a loyal following, you don't post bold claims w/out supporting information, then throw fuel to the fire by supplying vague and senseless replies. There are many people who just spent hard-earned money on a Stage IV port and a pulley combo they thought was acceptable. If that information has changed as a result of recent equipment tests and/or damage, then we deserve to know. If that information has not changed, then why pop on the web to spread confusion and ensue a panic?

I'm comfortable with how I'm running my Steg-ported blower, but that doesn't mean I don't want or deserve to know what is going on with this whole deal.

No case cracking has ever occured on any ported or unported case-but if you install your pulley wrong it can cause rear rotor rub and lock up the unit Also if you are shredding belts your pulleys are mis-aligned.
Stiegemeier blower ports are designed to work best at 15 to 16 lbs of boost -With extremly high reliablity.
Track only cars experiment with all boost levels and tuning mods to fully exploit max performance-Something that should not be tried on a daily driver.

I am Sorry for any confusion just make sure you control your boost at the desired boost level. We picked on the 4# and it is the Boost Level that is the main topic. A 6# lower with stock upper will yeild 15#s of boost, little if any belt slip- Ideal combo but most everyone changes the upper pulley as one of their first mods (average size being 2.80).
Later mods can be adding a lower pulley:
2# +2.80 = 16lbs boost. (daily driver)
4# + 2.80 = 17 lbs boost (weekend racer)
6# + 2.80 = 19 lbs boost (track only)

95% of our business is daily drivers with max realiability being a main concern.

I Apologize for not giving you all a better explaination of what Bob was trying to convey. We are extremely busy at present time. If anyone has any other questions or concerns please call or e-mail us.

Thanks - that explains things! You all were referring to a 2.80 upper when talking about the 4# lower.... :beer:

Great post. I love the three recommendations for Daily, Weekend and Track. :beer:

Works for me

 

[lafave]

Billetflow states that a 2.93 yeilds 5 to 6 #s of boost over stock, and a 2.76 yields 6 to 7. I have a 2.93 and see 13. I don't have a lower, but plan on running one at some point. So for those of you running any type of lower, are you seeing 2, 4, 6 #'s of boost as advertised, or are they like an upper where a 2# could yield 2 to 3, a 4# could yield 4 to 5?

Good Ending to this drama-fest :beer:

Here's the response from Modfords from Stieg, hope this clears everything up!

Just giving you a hard time.

A 2.8 and #4 it is for me then ( as soon as HPP is done with her). Weekend racer working on the driver mod. Good ending to a rough start. Thanks.

Definitely a communication and PR FUBAR. I was starting to think that this would get as big as the "Let's see all the hot girlfriends" thread.

Although I am less committed than a week ago, I will resume my previous plans to get a Stieg port.
