New Alta crank pulley showed up today

that is the good news....the bad is I will be out of town and it will be a few weeks before I can get it in and try it out. I'm trying to stay positive

What size you get? I plan to have Randy install a 0% (stock size) on my car in Oct. I am interested in what you think.

Mine is a 0% as I have a 19% SC pulley

After 30,000 miles on it, I switched from the Helix/RDR 19% (which was working just fine) to the M7 pulley and 3% Alta crank pulley.

Works geat - 10,000 miles plus on the new combo so far.

Hi Jim,

(Hector told me about your brakes.)

I had thought about going that route as I think that is the smart play.....however.......I didn't. I'm still waiting on the intake manifold.....decided against the ported SC for now....I don't want to be at the front this time and no one has provided proof that ported SCs make a diff on a highly modded engine.......Some people I repect have told me that they have not seen this mod add power to engines similar in mods to mine.......I'm sure i will hear about this.

If it's the same size as the stock one, what's the motive behind purchasing/installing it? Lighter weight or something? What advantages does it bring?

I left the car at R Speed for the week so that Hector can put it on. I'll be back on Sunday and will give my impressions then. The intake manifold is done and should ship but it will be a few weeks before that can go on.
