you mean 7-18-05 right
other wise we would already have the results. and im not to sure if this has been talked about (I personaly im not an expernt in any way) but wont this affect some of the timming of what ever else is connected to the same belt? and side effect/problems what could arise? But can't wait to see the end results to

No timing is a seperate belt. This will not affect timing in any way.
Adam ~ I have already reported about daily driving. The revs come quicker and throttle response is improved. I have seen no visible downsides. Low end torque seems slightly better too because it takes less to get everything spinning.
Dyno results will prove all this although I have seen in other applications where a pulley increases only a few HP on the dyno and then will cut a few tenths of a quarter mile time. The results of unsprung weight is much greater right off the line and then as you rev higher and are going faster. I expect a solid gain from this pulley! More to come. Thanks everyone for sticking by me in this development process.

My goal is 150whp when combined with my custom made catback exhaust and intake with the pulley. This is good power on a Mustang dyno.

This along with my lighter wheels..... should be intresting.
Im sure the numbers are nice, the price is certainly nice, but please explain to them how you would go about installing one of these. To an experienced mechanic its not extremely difficult, it is just TIME CONSUMING. So for the people on here who will have a mechanic put them on, the price is going to be quite large due to the time it takes to put these on. Basically what im saying is briefly explain to them what all is involved in the installation. Because a 100 bucks is good, but if you need to pay somebody upwards of at least 300 bucks to put it on, makes one wonder if that part is really worth the money. Get my drift?

I'll need about 2 weeks to do this install
