You disconnect your battery because its one of the many safety steps that keeps you from hurting your car or worse yourself. I guess it's not necessary to put blocks behind your rear tires when you have your car jacked? Or it's ok to climb under your car and change your oil with only your factory jack. Or it's alright to let Frank anywhere near your car... he forgets to bolt stuff down. But anyway, it's just a precaution. And I'm just messing around. But it's always good to think safety first.

RRM is gonna get more of my $$$ i guess

and this ebay auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Light...QQcmdZViewItem
And this post by Rhyzin: the 00-01 mirage share the same part number with the lancer. MD373417
Could someone tell me whether the RRM pulley is a different size than stock? I didn't realize that underdrive pulleys tend to be bigger so as to slow down the spin of the accessories. This is clearly a no-no for supercharged applications.
I apologize if the answer is somewhere obvious, but I think I have been following the threads pretty closely.
Edit: Think I found the answer. Could someone confirm whether it is the same size?

N1te, i like cost effective, but something about buying this thing off of eBay seems a little too risky for the cost you save..... i will look into procarparts.com later though. Thanks for the info again

RIPP makes an overdrive pulley that works with supercharged apps...they also make a small-shaft pulley for your supercharger.

You don't need to disconnect the battery for the pulley installation. I had a shop do mine since I never have time to do anything with my car but drive it. It took about a week for me to notice any HP gains. I guess the ecu can teach itself.
I noticed quicker rev's right away.

+1 hahahah nice job.
seriously; anytime you are working under the hood, for a period of time with any non-insulated tools, i would highly recommend disconnecting the battery for your own personal safety....it's not always about letting the ECU learn ya know.....
