I never knew it was the pulleys that moved the engine... I always thought it was the other way around. So, why are we wasting money on new engines for more power when the real power comes from the pulleys? Wow...

I've see where two crank pulleys have fallen off before . . . This was from not using a new crank bolt.

ASP is aluminum . . . it will "spin" itself off of the crank. The steel crank will wollow out the pulley . . .


. . . . this is only if the crank bolt is not torqued down, or if it's been previously abused.

I chickened out and took them back. I'm going to do a little audio upgrade instead

is the pulley smaller then stock? yes... does that mean the pulley will spin the engine faster? yes... so in conclusin wouldn't that pull the revs harder, which equals faster acceleration? mmmm, yes..
lmao so did you and dom outrun a guy in his fararri in the desert by any chance?

in my defense, a pulley does actually decrease the inertia of the crank which in result helps spin the crank faster

i actually raced a gallardo from a rolling 40kph.. guess who came out front Waiting for my new trans to take some vids this winter .. oh and miller just so u know, i'd bitch slap you alllll night long
