#10 plate & 3kgsk installed

Installed the goodies during Christmas vacation and wow what a difference they make.
The plate install wasn't so bad and the gsk went pretty smooth as well. I replaced the afc screws with socket head allen screws and bought a 6" long 5mm ball end allen socket the make getting the cover off a little easier next time. One thing that I noticed after the install is that when I'm getting on it and don't let it wind up in 3rd, when I shift to 4th and accelerate too much I hear kind of a grinding noise. not sure what it is but it sounds like it is resonating from the bell housing. any ideas?

Thanks

are you sure it is just not the clutch slipping. i know mine puts out a pretty good groan when i hit it below 1500 when the torque rolls in.

That might be it. It only happens at about 1400-1700 rpm

Another thing, I slid the plate back .060 from stock location per Piers suggestion to save my clutch and I can hit 30psi boost. Does that sound about right?

The grinding you hear is the tranny groaning from the extra Tq. you now have.
When you lug it in any gear especially loaded heavy you will hear this.

Ain't in nice to have the power to do that ?
