I just got the pulley installed.
I wanted this one to be a virtual press fit, so.....
I had to heat the new pulley in 212°f+ and have Di try to amputate my fingers installing it.
I now have boost again, but have to have a pass to see the #s.
YT, congrats on your new SpringTime!!!!!
I loved the way those coilovers felt!

Here is a good one. It is on the long course at Pocono. You should be able to get up well over 130 on the straight. My little NA ride gets up to over 120. It's $250, which is peanuts compared with what you have been dropping into the beast lately.

http://triregionracing.org/Forms/2007PDXad.pdf

By the way, wouldn't take R compounds to a track day until you have a number of them under your belt. They might be just the thing for AutoX, but street tires are better for beginning long-trackers. They have much more progressive break-away, and you can more easily learn how to modulate your drift with your left foot. There have been a lot of posts on this topic recently on the NASA forums. Instructors really don't want to ride with HPDE 1 and 2 drivers with R compounds. These tires hold really high lateral forces, then let go abruptly, sending the noobie driver into the weeds at high rates of speed, along with screaming instructor. Besides, you will learn a lot more and actually have more fun without them. I figure when I get my diploma to go from HPDE 2 to HPDE 3, I'll spring for R's. Until then, Yoko Advan Neova AD07's or Falken Azeni's are as far as I want to go.

Let me know. I'm going to both days for this one. If you want to do both days ($450), let me know, you can have the other bed.

Is the limitation for the Koni's 400lb/inch?

I'm interested into hear if there's a difference between this set and your old one as far as ride quality and feel.
