IF you e-mailed me it is possible that it got caught up in our filter...IF you have a problem you can ALWAYS pm me or post it

BlownChevy, I'll PM you in a minute.
I replied to Shonda at Whipple, we'll see in a minute if they can help......
EDIT 6:35 and no reply. I guess she went home......I'll post if she replies tonight or tomorrow.

Ok,so, i'm kinda stupid. It was actually a 14mm hex bit. I went to a local garage and he didn't have one, but, he made one ouf of a 9/16th hex bit. just ground it down a little. Got the new crank pulley put on and my belt was way too short. Had to wait about an hour for a local parts store to deliver one. It is now sitting in my garage cause i immediately went to AutoZone and bought a Gatorback instead.
so anyway, i went from a 6.5" crank pulley to a 7.5" crank pulley (same diameter as the harmonic balancer) Went from 10lbs of boost to 15. HOLY ****!!!!! That's insane. Thanks guys for all the responses. It turns out that i found a 14mm hex bit at Autozone when i went there looking for the belt. Now if whipple had responded to me over the last week or so that i've been calling and emailling them I would have known it was 14mm and NOT 13mm. Oh well. The job is done.

the crank pulley supplied by whipple is 6.5" and the new one is 7.5" if i remember right. The new one is the same size as the harmonic balancer
