Hi. An introduction is in order. My name is Tim Underwood and I have been a member of the St. Louis Mini Club for some time. I live down south aways (southern lingo) in Sikeston, MO and unfortunately have not made it to an event yet. But I will!!

Anyway, with that done, I wanted to let you know that I have been talking with Randy Webb of Webb Motorsports. Many of you may know him from NAM/MCO and his knowledge and commitment in increasing the performance of our beloved little cars. He also, as you may know, is travelling to different parts of the country performing 15% SC pulley reductions and ECU upgrades for the MCS. I don't know what the ratio is of MC/MCS in the club, but, he also can perform some nice upgrades for the MC.

The other day, I asked Aaron what he thought the interest level would be for having Randy come to St. Louis. He didn't know but thought it was a great idea and asked me to post it for feedback to assess the interest level.

Right now, Randy is scheduled to go to Houston in January. He said that party may fall through and that time could open up or we could do it later, like February or March. We do, however, need at least ten commitments for him to schedule a St. Louis PulleyParty.

Please get back to me by posting here, PM me here, or you have my private email on the member list. Imagine attending a Phil Wicks Academy event with not 163 HP under that right foot but 190!!

To get more info on the technical side, visit Randy's site null

Again, let me know and LET'S MOTOR!!!

Tim

OK, please educate me. I've read about it on some threads, but do not know what a "pulley" is!

I'd be interested. I'd planned to visit Randy in Denver next Spring/Summer, so this would save me a trip.

OK. I can see we're beginning to get some interest here. If you need more technical info. on supercharger pulley 15% reduction and what it can do for your car, see Randy Webb's website herePulley reduction and other mods explained

We will need to start a St. Louis pulley party thread over on Webbmotorsports forum as we gain more interest from other members. Randy really only has time to monitor his website forum to answer your questions. I'll get back to you with the URL to that part of the forum as soon as it's set up. Thanks.

Tim :smile:

Scott,

Pulley alone is $400. Pulley + ECU mod is $1015. These are installed prices. The latter installation is what gets you 27 extra hp at the flywheel! Hope that helps.

Again, all this info and answers to all your questions from Randy are available at his website through the link in my previous post.

Tim
