Joined the Pulley & Sway Club today

Thanks to the guys at Harrison Motorsports in Alpharetta Ga., I joined the 15% pulley club and the 22mm sway club. The jury is still out on the pulley as I am going to wait for the ECU to adapt a little, as for the sway bar..........well set on the middle position car seems very neutral and and not as stiff as I thought it might be( a good thing ). Pretty much on a rail. Anyway do I get some kind of badge, trophy, free dinner, trip to Hawaii, or other assorted sundry of gifts for joining? Please advise.

I'll make a mashed potato statue out of you next time I have them.

Congrats on the parts!

When you say, "the jury is still out on the pulley," does that mean it didn't deliver the anticipated kick in the ****?

I dunno just yet?!?? Maybe my "****" dyno needs to be calibrated........I do believe the car pulls harder especially from 4-6 grand........definately more supercharger whine and no dead spots to speak of!

I had the same feeling out of my 15% pulley...can't really put words to it but I just didn't notice that much difference right away. Looking back, I know it was well worth it to do the pulley as I can now pull away from JCW cars without much difficulty.

After careful calibration to the "**** dyno" and a couple of quick "neck jerkers" (test rides) with some friends, both friends were totally impressed with the mods and me thinks I'm beginning to feel a big difference.
Still waiting on the welcome letter and or a bell or whistle, maybe a tie tack, jelly of the month or whatever you get for joining?

First welcome,
Second - no prize or gifts.
Third - waiting for ECU to adapt you need to go out and nail it! let your ecu adapt to that .
