Squealing at WOT?

Didnt find anything in a search, prolly didnt look hard enough but is it common to hear a weird squeal or more like a whine when at high rpm?
I get it when I open her up or downshift and get the rpm at 4000+

That happens when I have the Xcal2 93 program loaded up. It is just your belt squeeking. You can replace your stock one with a Gatorback(I think it's Gatorback?) belt . Do a search on goolgle for them.

Yep, get yourself a gatorback belt.

I'd buy from Troyer Performance. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Are you actually talking about a "Squeal" or a whine?

Mine whines like a quiet supercharger when the RPMs are very high.. like the second to thrid shift/3-4 shift. I think its just the speed of the belt moving very fast..

The squeal at WOT upshifts is normal with the tuner... so is the whine. I think its just from the cheap stock belt.
