new pully times

[andrew.brandon]

k here are my first 2 slips the others were so inconsistant and such that I will not include them. This time I had the new underdrive pullies and I also disconnected the exaust. I'm not sure the exaust helped. driving there the car felt slower. oh well. previus best at this track was 2 weeks ago with 16.6

Maybe you'll hit 15's at AIS4

good job. that 2.24 60' is pretty solid for you 3.4 [img]smile.gif[/img] i wish they made aftermarket pullies for my car :( try running with that exhaust closed next time. i bet you might get a tenth or so off it. if it is running slower

So inconsistent?

What were they?
Also, you "disconnected" the exhaust?

What did you do?

a 16.5 and 2 16.4's. well thats inconsistant for me anyway. I was bracket racing that night. the 2 I posted were my T&T runs at about 1:00 and 2:00, the rest after 6:00. As for the exaust, there are 4 bolt's that I disconnected right behind the cat. Then you can just slide the pipe over and put is beside the cat. I woulde have taken the cat off but I didn't have a socket ling enough to get to the bolt. But it sounded mean as hell [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

[AaronG]

so how much did they take off? and do you have crank and alt or just crank?

[MustangEater8251]

As for unhooking the exhaust, you will feel a loss downlow but up top feel the gain, ESPECIALLY in a 3.4L.

btw do not remove the CAT and run open Y-pipe will slow you down like a mofo [img]smile.gif[/img] .

My best runs were when I took the cat, off nad clamped on a $20 muffler form advanced auto parts onto the y-pipe where the CAT was. I did this mod on the way to the track and ran new bests.

I ran many of times with just the CAT, no catback hooked up and got lots of 15.7-15.8s, then it clogged completely where if I floored it car would nearly stall, then I went to the muffler.

And it does sound mean [img]smile.gif[/img] Always got complements from even v8 guys on the sound, course I was smart enough to nonly really let them hear idle and a few little revs. Too bad the 3.8L sounds like dirty a$$hole.


As for the pullies, I noticed a slight differnence, nothing huge. Not sure they would have been wortht the price new but I got the belt, and pulleys for $60 shipped used from someone.

Have any charging problems I know some people did, I only did in the rain, with headlights, wipers and AC on.

as far as pullies go for the 3.8, i have heard that ours are allready to the point where they are "underdriven" and the difference that any new pullies would make would probably be minimal.

Same here, I think a bunch of people tested the out when they first caem out back in the day.

Eric hit the nail w/ the hammer this time. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] The 3.4 sounds feckin mean w/o a muffler but thats about it.

Yup, I've heard the pulley's on 3.8's are quite effecient from factory.
