Some of the gain is because my new tires on my 18's are way way sticker than the stock pirellis my 18's dont chirp when i shift to 2nd and such.

No unless you think hp gain is an adverse effect? lol jk but no its ezactly the same as the stock one except much much lighter.

And if someone was to order this pulley and would like instructions i could give them an step by step instruction if they want, Just give me an pm.

Let me know next time you go to the track, if you don't mind maybe I will join you. I would like to see what times I can get. Never been to a track before.

sounds like a plan, my goal is to go once a month until the track closes again for the winter, maybe may 20th depending on whether or not i work that day and have the $20 to go at it again

If you guys are planning on going... make sure to take some weight saving measures. At the very least you should ditch your jack and spare... that's like 30 pounds. Run a 1/2 tank of gas or less... unload all your CD's and other crap you keep in the car. You could go as far as removing your passenger and rear seats. I didn't do all that... but I did remove my rear headrests.. saved 2 pounds maybe... hey, every little bit helps!

Oh... and take off your engine cover too. Then engine will run 5 degrees cooler.

If you're running stock tires burn them for just a second or two to warm them... don't do any big burns b/c overheating the tires is just as bad as leaving them cold.
