So I finally ordered my shocks and springs (last week).........double adjustable with 125 lb springs. I will have them in for my next race (Blue Suede Nationals - Norwalk)! Can't wait to go racing and turn this thing up!

Looking for a 8mm 53 tooth supercharger pulley. Need to slow my car down to run a 8.50 index! My 51 tooth aint going to do it any more!

Interested in a 55 tooth?
What's on the crank?

[GTOGEORGE]

It really doesn’t matter what’s on the bottom, right now I have a 47 on the top. I need to slow down .50 of a second to run the 8.50 index for b/gas. Normally I run a 51 to hit the index but now I’m running quicker so the 51 ain’t going to get it done. The next size pully I have is an 54 I think that will slow me down too much! I’d like to run around 8.45 for the .50 index, that’s why I’m looking for a 53 pulley.....I found a 52 on e bay. Actually I think I’ll be in the 7.90’s....oh well.

What do you mean it does not matter what is on the bottom ?

Because it doesnt.......i lose or gain so much ET with every tooth I add or subtract on the top pulley. The number on the bottom doesnt matter because i never change it so its the consistent (I'm not changing my bottom pulley). Normally i would change to my 51 pulley to run 8.40-8.50, well now I'm about .30 or more quicker then last year (at the same race) so my 51 aint going to get the job done. So I'm looking for pulley bigger then a 51.......I have a 54 and that may do it this year. i just want to be prepared.

If you are trying to slow it down wouln't a bottom pulley with 1-2 more teeth get it done too ?
Just like changing front/rear sprockets on you Stingray that we all did.

Nice launch George. PontiacXBodiesTTFMF!

Time for a stiffer rear anti-roll bar?

Yea basically.

He'd speed the blower up if he added teeth at the bottom.

I think Dragncar ment was 1 or 2 teeth more or less on the bottom pulley being the same as 1 or 2 teeth more or less on the top.

Its what I meant George, thanks. Brainfart. Just like at the mill where you have a gearbox, drive and driven.

[Jack Gifford]

The reason I asked about the bottom pulley- perhaps I'd have a pulley slightly smaller.

Can’t get the anti-roll bar in Z Motorsports is booked through September, shocks will have to do right now!

Every car is different. Because of my crank support, the lower pulley is a royal pain to change. The upper pulley only takes five minutes. So, in my case, I carry a small selection of upper pulleys.



I don't change pulleys lightly, however. With fuel injection, a pulley change requires at least a change in the return pill and sometimes changing all the port nozzles to stay in tune.

Try TRZ.

[GTOGEORGE]

Well I’ve made two passes at Norwalk and the coil overs seem to be working. I’ve tried to let it fly two passes and I’ve had electrical issues. I think I figured out the problem but now I have to back it off a lot to run the 8.50 class!

Well it looks like the 53 pulley I bought won't working.......car is running way too quick with it I ran 8.43 @ 161 with the car not shifting (going on the rev limiter) both gears (I shifted manually), so basically probably 8.39 or a 8.40. Car is simply flying! the shocks seem like they are going to work and the car is making lots of power. Normally I would have run a 51 pulley to run in the 8.45-.55 range with a 158-159 mph. Pontiac race should be interesting!

Oh yea won two rounds (Pro Tree) before a spun really, really bad and got slapped on the tree 3rd round! DAMN was it a HOT weekend!!!

Congratulations on the round wins. Are you going for your seven at Norwalk?

Well I'm going to set the car up like I always run it with a 47 top pulley and see how the shocks like the added HP and whatever it runs it runs. My goal is to win races first the breaking records 2nd!
