Re: what can i do to get more hp

The crank pulley is an underdrive pulley, its a 23% underdrive pulley that replaces the stock balancer/pulley in order to not just underdrive but also save on rotating weight. All others I have ever seen just bolt on top of your stocker, adding even more weight than you had stock. Like I said I wouldnt do it any other way.

Highly recommended and worth it.

If you have a hypertech chip you can send that in to us to have it reflashed to save anthor $25 bucks.

Our normal price includes a memory adapter so theres no need to send us your stock chip.. those adapters cost us plenty so if you have your own chip/adapter that can be reflashed we pass the savings right along to you.

Re: what can i do to get more hp

hey alvin i might just do that. But the reason i do not want to do head and cam is the $ too much for me right now. I want to do a 100 nx wet shot. I was told that i wouldnt need to upgrande anything really. MAybe a fuel pump. But i was also told that if mine works fine i shouldnt even have to worrie about that. I only want spray for some bigger races. I would say maybe spary it 5 times a month maybe less. Any info would be good.

No I did not use a ALT pulley. Just the 23% crank replacement. The battery volts are low 12's at long stop lights, but I just corrected this by upping the idle RPM's using a Madwolf tune. It wasnt causing any problems, even with my 1200 watt system bumpin, but I just feel better knowing its not dipping down low, who knows, it might kill my opti, and I am trying hard not to let that happen...again. Some use a ALT overdrive pulley to help with voltage levels but your actuall becoming counter productive at that point, why not just up the idle?

Re: what can i do to get more hp

The stock fuel pump starts to loose steam around 360 rwhp in my experience. I would replace it if you plan on making more than that.
