Just an update... WOW. It's so worth every single penny. The car is a completely different animal, and there's savage power everywhere in the rpm band. I unfortunately went due to human error, which caused a torn belt on the highway, which sucked, but a I found a replacement locally and she was back in working order in no time. I wish I had videos, but the 13 of the past 14 days it's rained here =( of course the only day it didnt rain was when my car was sitting on a flatbed.. so go figure. With some good weather I'll provide videos!

Annnnd now he sees where the money went to, instead of the 1500 used centri way of doing things. Sometimes I cant decide whether to look at this thread or not because I get all anxious and i'm still several months out from my KB. You make me sad and happy at the same time

haha.. welllll.. I was an idiot, and when I was putting on the idler pullies, I put them on backwards. I know how dumb that sounds, and it's true. I was so excited I wasn't even thinking. I discovered they were backwards after trying to start the car and having the belt fall off after a second or two. Trying to get the belt on pullies that were inset from the regular pathway actually caused a little rip on the edge. I didn't think that would be much of a problem, so of course I took my car on the highway for the first test under boost. The belt shredded.. it was kinda like opening a Christmas present as a 6 year old and expecting something that you really wanted and asked for the whole year (the seconds before the break.. under boost for the first time.. unbelievable) then unwrapping it and discovering it's just a box of coal... which later turns into diamonds when I replaced the belt. I hope that made sense.

anyways, haha thanks for the compliments guys! We had rain yet again today and 50mph gusts.. hopefully it'll clear up this weekend for some raw footage.
