    are you an auto? Stall converter, aluminum driveshaft, lighter tires/rims, poly motor/tq arm/engine mounts...anything you can do to lessen the load on the engine...so deleted A/c is two less pulleys that have drag on the belt....double roller timing chain...

            Dyno numbers will be lower, but the car will be faster...

              Yeah. I was just pointing out that if he wanted higher numbers it would not help to have a higher stall. :p

                Are you wanting to go faster or dyno higher?

                  be fast on the track, not just on paper.

                  if dyno numbers were all that mattered then there wouldn't be a need for racetracks, they'd just have two guys line up at a time with calculators and their slips in hand lol.

                    lol...if all he cares about is dyno numbers and not going fast...should buy a supra...those things are dyno queens...don't get me wrong, they're fast to...but some of the numbers they put down on the dyno, then the times they run at the track...makes you wonder if its still the same car...

                          well for starters you need to either get a shorter belt or a a.c delete pulley...

                          there are a couple write ups on it...basically its 5 bolts or so you need to remove...

                            really its only five bolts? what exactly do you remove just the pulley?

                              the compressor is only 5 bolts...I removed the compressor, lines, drier, and condenser...I still got to get behind the dash to remove the evap coil...
