Kevin - I have all the parts I need for fuel and pulley swap. Probably do it pretty soon. I was prepared to swap pulleys out at the track on Friday to get a before and after comparison. It just didn't work out with me only getting one run in.

Yeah, 11.7 should be enough for a daily driver. I just cant wait to feel the difference moving from the 3.3 to 3.0 pulley. It has super top end right now, but I'm ready for some of that 'holy cow' torque factor. Plus, I have to be able to back up my new license plate.

You remember how the Radix just turned the SSS into a beast when the small pulley went on, right?


Matt - buy her a TVS for Christmas. Mid 12s AWD with perfect manners and no other mods... You can't beat that. She will thank you for it later.

They're right around 5,000 lbs.

Thanks again guys. I'm already getting the itch to run it again.

I keep thinking "what would it run with a little weight reduction and the smaller pulley?". Of course, those kind of thoughts only lead to disappointment when you pull up to get your time slip. Done that several times in the past...
