Take a bar of soap and soap up the sides of the belt.

Have you checked the alignment of the pulleys?

congrats.
I think with some minor timing adjustments on the cams, I can change that....

Not really though, I'm gonna leave them as is. Crane designed that grind specifically for my car, I'll trust them.

Just at idle, the exhaust blows your hand away from the exhaust pipe HARD. It definitely did not do that when it was stock. I am super excited to get this thing tuned and ****. I was averaging 14.2 mpg on my first drive I got up to like 1/3 throttle at 3500 rpm, and it put me in the seat pretty good, this thing will make power through 8000 rpm, so the break in period is going to be torturous! Also the clutch is AMAZING!!! Its got quite a bit less pedal pressure than stock, but you can tell is a crazy clutch because as you let it out, it chatters pretty good. It feels almost like stock (except for the mild chatter), and Will from Centerforce said the clutch could easily handle 800 hp Awesome clutch!

Also, here is a video from my phone, just a walk around at idle. Real quick.


****'s weak! Here's a real walk around!

I plan on doing a TVS swap eventually. Until then, nitrous will make up the difference.
