Pulley installation, local help?

I recently purchased a 15% pulley, belt, and safety retainer from WMW. Anxious to get the thing installed. Thought I had a local source that could help, but that doesn't appear likely. I pinged WAY to see if he had a local source that could help, haven't heard back yet. Anyone know of a good local person here in Phoenix that could help out?

Nice solid pulley from WMW, can't wait to get it installed.

TIA,

Will do. I'm also installing the NGK plugs too.

Wow, what a diff! got the 15% pulley installed, belt, and plugs. Like a whole new car. the install wasn't that bad. took us a couple hours. would've went quicker if it wasn't for a hot engine. (I had to tool over to the other side of town for the help).

shout out to AZblackOUT. you da man! this is an awesome mod. I drove home a bit, with the widows down and the radio off. Just to listen to that charger whine. Niiice! (just an fyi - it was 110F outside).

I can see why folks may say your mileage will drop a little. cause you can't keep your foot out of the car.

any rate. next, I'll go after a CAI. and then probably a tune. I'll probably sell off my R98 factory wheels, and drop down to a 16" setup. and try to shave a bit off the corners as well. all it takes is a little time, (and money).
