I have the 4th slot on Friday. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it and will have to catch Jan the next time around. I hope someone can use my time slot.

Need to trade

To all -

I was originally scheduled for the first Tuesday.
I see that I have been moved to the next Monday.
Unfortunately, I have a scheduling conflict and cannot make Monday.
Can anybody on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday open for a trade with me????

Let me know....

Ralph--Can you finalize this trade? I'll still get their early on Monday to check-on the belt swap and the 380s.
No problem with you switching with madmike007. We'll do the belt swap and injectors before you go on the dyno. Did you need the jcw or our injectors too or did you have them already?

No problem we'll move you back to Tuesday. Are you still having us install the cam?

If I can't get a good deal locally on the JCW injectors, I'll have you guys supply them.

I will let you know.

My JCW belt that you installed in March appears to be stretching. I checked the index hole on my tensioner today, and I can no longer see the hole. Just after the install of the pulley and belt I could see at least half.

I would like to replace it with a NAPA 060535 belt.

is the 060535 the proper one for a 15% pulley? I want to get a spare to have on hand in case we need to swap mine (year old and maybe 12k miles)

How much would it cost to install JCW injectors and maybe a belt change before the tune? I think my belt is fine, and I was planning on installing the injectors myself, but if its free I wouldn't mind waiting until my tune date .

If any of you who have signed up but now can't go due to scheduling conflict feel like giving your spot to someone I think I can bare that burden

You can check with Eric at Helix, but I think that is the one they recommend.

Lots of different opinions on NAM, but it looks like the majority says 060535 is the way to go.

I had bought a JCW when I had my pulley installed; that may not have been the right move.

Helix web site says allow an hour for install time for the injectors.

I'm still waiting to hear from Jan if he got it and tuned it on the GP. At this point I don't think he will have enough time to test and make sure there are no issues with it ie.. stumbles, cels. If not I will probably have Eric install some FSD's. If I don't hear from Jan by the tenth then I'll order the FSD's and contact you to confirm

*We recommend the 25-060-539 for the 15% and 17% pulleys, and 25-060-535 for the 19% pulley. Sorry for the mixup

We'll have plenty of belts on the shelf

Ralph,
Since you're moving Ripper back to Tuesday is there any chance I can get into his Monday morning spot or I can switch with spirit16 even ... this is "Shaun G.". Feel free to give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. List is updated on the first page.


I read the earlier post on pulley belts wrong. We recommend 25-060-539 for the 15% and 17% pulleys, and 25-060-535 for the 19% pulleys. Sorry about that guys.
