I'm sure you've all heard of this before. But, I figured I'd bring it up cuz I'm bored (work from home). For around $17.00 you can do it yourself. It's the Power Steering delete or belt re-routing.

The Autozone part number is: 650K6, which will be a pretty universal part number across different brands since the first part: 650 - identifies the length (65.0") and the 6 at the end identifies the 6 ribs of the belt. See the pic below for belt routing:

btw: found this on another site so I can't take the credit.

Yeah i saw this mod on a couple of other sites. Supposedly people are picking up 2 tenths in the 1/8th by doing this mod alone. I think the belt size depends on whether you have UDPs or not though, so be careful.

Appreciate the info, but I've never understood this - PS delete, remove the passenger and rear seats, take out the spare and jack then get on the internet and tell people your car runs XXX. Put all the stuff back on, slow down 5 tenths. What's the point?

I've not seen that before and I wasn't going to get ripped off for $50 to find out either. Thanks for sharing this info, I'll try it next time I go to the track.

if you really wanted too, i guess you could drive this way on the street.............if you don't mind wrenching the wheel in exchange for a freer revving engine........for 17 bucks i think i might give this one a try

It looks like a little more tweaking is possible to get rid of the AC also.

not sure how you could get the belt on if you bypassed the a/c, you have to have the tensioner in the system somewhere to put the belt on/off

UDP does not change the size of the belt because with a UDP you have a much bigger pully on the water pump, so the belt stays the same.

Its just something you can do to go faster at the track...thats liks saying why do people put drag radials on at the strip or crank up the boost?...I dont think it has anything to do with the internet.

You can also drink prune juice the night before. That should help.
