The pulley mod

[SonicBoom]

ok guys so if youve been following my terminator story you all know i just went down to virginia and picked up my terminator . .and you also know that the belt squeels. So I took it to a friend with another terminator and he told me i need a new belt. SOOOO I figure if i need a new belt, clearly while the belt is off i might as well upgrade the supercharger pulley . Im looking for about 50 hp increase. . which size should i go with?

Whats done to the car? You will have to tune the car after a pulley swap as well

 

[SonicBoom]

so far just midpipe, catback and cold air intake

Maybe a 2.93" or 2.80" upper, i heard they add about 5-6psi.

Again, you probably need a tune but im not 100% sure.

 

[SonicBoom]

ok so i have another question . . why is the pulley that tim used $139 but i found a steeda pulley for 80 bucks? is there sumthing missing? what brand should i go with guys? I was always sure steeda was legit . . heres the link http://www.americanmuscle.com/st20copu2.html

and i think thats before the new york mustangs discount

 

[Timspony]

Stay away from RedLine!!!

The BF is interchangeable with a hub...so changing the pulley takes like 3 minutes!!

 

[RustyNutz]

Listen to Tim, buy the Billetflow pulley! It costs more, but it has an interchangeable hub like Tim said and it's a quality piece.

 

[Stangerang]

Does the car already have an aftermarket tune for the midpipe, catback, and cai? I know when used modded/slighty modded cobras are turned into Ford dealers, they reset the computers back to stock. Considering you bought yours from a used car dealer, maybe it might still have a tune from the previous owner...

 

[SonicBoom]

yea im not certain if its tuned or not?

 

[Stangerang]

I would have the car run a few dyno pulls, just to make sure your a/f is safe. Plus, the shop will be able to tell if everything is sound.

 

[SonicBoom]

guys . . i have the money for my pulley now . . time to do sum searcin

 

[Timspony]

We'll talk
