RE: Ooohhh Junk, just got the pulleys in
It was that comedy dvd with Jeff Foxworth, Bill Evangall, and 2 other guys, cant remember the name of it - was funny though. Ahh just put the pulleys in, took about 45 minutes. Easier than doing it on a 5.0, the belt went on much easier. The steeda kit is nice. Haven't driven it yet though, since wife won't be home for 4 more hours and I have the kids... hmmmm maybe they wanna go for a test ride??? Hehe lol nah prolly won't be a good idea. I'll post tonight if I had any gains.

Drove the stang to the gas station and, put some gas in it and let it warm up. Got on it hard and....
THE CRANK PULLEY EXPLODED, SLUNG MY BELT, SHATTERED MY RADIATOR, FRONT TIMING COVER, AND A PIECE WENT THROUGH MY FENDER!!!!!!!!!!
Nahhhh just kidding, it pulls noticably harder all the way through the powerband - from idle on up. Great feel. Of course no dyno comparison but I'd say I got at least 5hp all the way through the powerband, maybe even 10 up top. Feel's like 1-2 tenths difference, no joke. Feels really good.

Pullies are a good choice from everyone I've seen who's put them in, I can't give you a before and after though cause I ordered some only to discover I already had them, they looked stock but they must have just been on there for a long time.

RE: Ooohhh Junk, just got the pulleys in
Im confident that with the mods I've done since I've been to the track last (subframe connectors, aluminum driveshaft, pulleys) and dropping my dr's [pressure from 22#'s to 15#'s I can pull 13.3's I also expect to have in on Tuesday when the UPS guy runs my full densecharger, 85mm ProM, & ngk plugs. Im gonna run this Friday - with the new mods and more practice on the dr's I'm hoping for 12.9's! We shall see...
Oh, I also replaced my pinion bearing, its been making a huge howling noise since shortly after I put the 4.10's in. I dropped it on the garage floor and it got some dirt on it when I was swapping gears, I though I'd cleaned it off good but I guess not. That baby was sooooooo mangled when I took it off... lol I know that had to have been robbing some power. It was so bad you couldn't even have a conversation in the car lol - like my rear end was gonna blow up. Haha I even drove it at the track like that when I got my 13.5. Yea I know it wasn't smart but I'm lazy sometimes and I wanted to run with the new tires and chassis parts.
