I have Helix's 17% Pulley and I love it!!!! It is way aggressive! I would also like to add that Alex and all the other guys at Helix are awesome. They are willing to actually help you and take your opinions and what you want to do into account when they talk to you. They are a great group of people and I will drive 4 hours to there shop to get any and all work done.

Alex,

Still waiting to hear back from you about a dyno day. If you are going to be too busy before the Dragon, which it seems like you will be, I would like to get the car dynoed during the pulley install day. Is there still enough time available to do that? Maybe we can try to get a dyno day together for late May or early June.

Brian

I think they will be able to squeeze us in for some dyno runs on the day.

Actually, you don't need to dyno your car. Just use my dyno number plus another 15 hp and the total will be you result.

Can a mod change the title to the correct date please?

I think the date is April 21, or sticky it?

Sorry to be a pain.

I guess I lost the physical challenege and was the person to stay back and watch the shop while Eric and Ralph got to have the fun.

Brian, you are always welcome to hang out. Maybe we will give your car some more of the secret sauce and you can beat maxicooper by even more at the strip next time.

Hey. I think I'd like to be in on this one. I'll give credit to Maxicooper (and others) for urging me on the 15% tip. What do I need to do, other than to say I want it?!?

Allison (coopergirl) is organizing this day, so you should send her a pm telling her you are interested. Once she has that ready she will send it over to Eric and we will figure out everything else

MINI-Bee, shall we meet at Tate for the monthly breakfast for a little while, then head up to Helix. From there it shouldn't take long though.

Yeah we can meet there at 9 and hang out for an hour or so and then head up to Helix. I know that most of you want to be there when it starts but if some people are just going to Helix to watch and hang out (FEEDBACK ) and you want to cruise up there with us please feel free to join us!
