is it difficult to replace the pullies?

Once you go chrome you don't go back...oh wait, that didn't rhyme
I'm actually swapping things back now. My polished IC has been sold and I am installing a black one, although it has a sheet metal scoop, so that has some bling. I want to sell my chrome VCs and swap to sheet metal ones. Removed my headers and having a set of ATRs coated "almost chrome." Well, I guess I'm not turning back after all, lol

SE has a lot of stuff, but some of their prices seemed kind of high high.

I agree you can spend a small fortune on his Chrome page

I want to get my pipes back and get it back together, then I will figure out what I am doing. I sent the exhaust housing, the front mount intercooler pipes and the down-pipe to have them polished

yep.

I have the PTE super stock location intercooler.

I need to get my aluminum up-pipe (intercooler to TB) polished.

I don't know of any places around here that do that. What do you think they will charge?

Your right, it does make the ac compressor look ugly. They are sharp though. I wonder if anyone had done a back to back comparo at the track for times? I would think it would be some difference with that much off the engine.

Good post, I wonder myself. Seems like lots of weight reduction with these.

Jason's told me he is working on something for the AC unit I guess we are lucky our Maff Pipes hide the bulk of the unit.

I bought the Race crank pulley, I must say it weighs nothing

That would be for a front mount then?

No you can run any of Jason's pulleys with a stock location, except for the crank.

So then you just skip the stock plastic fan for the intercooler? What do you use a small electric one to pull air through the intercooler?

Pronto I got you, I misunderstood you, i thought you meant P/S and the others. On the crank Jason's sells 3 crank pulleys, 1 race, 1 under-drive, and one stock replacement. You would need to run the stock replacement on the crank with a stock cooler.

So what is involved in replacing the crankshaft pulley? It looks like it would give the most benefit, and it is the ugliest too.

Nothing really. With a stock mount, I would recommend pulling it out just so you can have lots more room. While it is out give it a cleaning. Take the 1/2 inch bolts off surrounding the center bolt, take a small pry-bar and gently just work side to side. Comes right off

That woudl be cool to see. I wonder if it is something that just bolts over the existing piece.

Definately looks like a$$...
