Well yesterday I finally got around to getting my Medieval Lightweight ALT & WP installed. I was able to get a family mechanic to install these for $40 Woohoo!! These pulleys are the SAME size as the stock pulleys just extremely light. After the install right away I could feel the difference in throttle response and in acceleration. Next week hopefully I can throw the car on the dyno and get some actual numbers.
The stock waterpump and alternator pulley are actually heavy compared to the light weight pulleys. Its a night and day difference between the two.
Stock Pulleys.

real nice job man! I also (even owning a speed now) still love the standard 3. I never would have thought pullies made that big of a difference until I started replacing them in my Honda days. It really makes a big difference! Keep it up man, you are on the right track. Lets see some interior pics with those guages!
why?

Thanks. (thumb)
Yea man, the difference is really noticable. I am more then satisfied with these pullies. Interior pics are on the way.
Honestly I'm not interested in boosting my 3 at the moment. I am satisfied with my car the way it is. Maybe in the future i'll consider boosting it but not now.

I'm quick to fix everything else but the exterior of my car.Well tonight was an interesting night. I went to Virginia Motorsports Park and hit the drag strip up. Now this was the FIRST time I ever drag at a track before. My best time was 15.8. My worst was 17.7. Each run something different happen. I missed 3rd, I missed 4th, I couldn't get traction and my tires kept spinning at the start for like 2 seconds. :x OMG!
I need some advice from the guys/gals who drag race. I think its a lil obvious I can't launch for sh!tz. At the start on several runs I kept spinning tires and couldn't get no traction at all. I rev it up to 5k or 6k and then go. Am I reving it high or should I try reving it to 3k or 4?? I tried to upload a pic of my slips but they were blurry. I'll give it another shot later.
Here is the info from the slips
