I was told by the same shop that robbed me not to do pullies or flywheel. He said that you will fug the crank up if you do. I dunno if its true or not.

Never heard of this before, and not sure why they would say that. The crank on this car is good for almost 1000whp, so it's not that easy to mess up. Again, this just doesn't make sense to me.

I'd say go for the pulley if you want, you shouldn't have any issues.

Are you guys using underdrive pulleys or just lightened? I was wondering about cooling issues with an underdriving pulley since the water-pump is on this belt.

Personally I will be going with a lightned pulley as opposed to a underdrive for just that reason. I dont need to underdrive my accesories...

Yes sir...his screen name is JonathanAlboona or something like that I think. I am going to be installing Motordynes 5/16" spacer next week and get some numbers from that. Also going to throw in a set of NGK 1 step colder Iridiums after the spacer. The week following I'll install the KJR pulley and a Blitz FATT DCIII Turbo timer. Next mods from there Blitz sbc-Id and coilovers...

had a UR pulley since the TN install. It will allow you to rev up sooner so your power band should come up earlier.

I had it thrown in with the kit. I was going to do it myself but I heard that it can be a PIA to get the old pulley off. I can't imagine doing it after the kit is in though.
