Im using the stock length Roush belt, standard gates black. It’s also the original belt, 29000 miles on it. I have a new one ready to go on but I’m being lazy. I have no indications of belt slip with my 72mm blower pulley with the 90mm idler.

Start at the back of the truck, work forward.
if you moved your shift points higher then the dyno showed power.
you might want to re dyno pull to that rpm and see what’s going on.
gen 1s don’t do what gen 2 and 3 do.
i still say start at the back of the truck.
Tire, suspension, gear, ect

Thanks, I understand after doing some research about the differences in the heads between gen I and gen II, and I shouldn't expect the same performance from mine as BadCon's or anyone else with a gen II or later. I honestly hadn't delved that far into it to realize the differences. I'm sure it would take significant cash to have a consistent mid 11 truck, which at this point I'm not ready to do. I believe I will go to the 72mm pulley and larger injectors, and probably turn the shift points back down a little and be satisfied with a 11.8-11.9 truck. I've put too much into this one getting it to look and ride and run well, and of course it was paid for long ago, so I'm going to stick with it as is for a while.
I am wondering however if my blower kit is compatible with gen II heads. There are several low mileage gen II motors available within about 200 miles or so and might consider at some point a switch to a gen II motor. It would be cheaper than starting over with a 15-17 truck.

also iirc you have the Roush blower, might want to look into a vmp gen 3 head unit swap
