Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

I avoid underdrive pulleys like I avoid the plague... Exactly as you describe it just spins the accesories slower which usually has poor results. Keep in mind that the crank pulley is now a stock size so that needs to be factored into the equation. I honestly have never had a problem fitting the stock water pump pulley on an engine with a Vortech. I know when/if you switch to an 8" crank pulley it will be really stinking close but even that clears all of the cars that I've seen/owned. With a good cooling system you shouldn't have any trouble cooling the car even while romping around town on some of the hotter days. I would advise that you be careful and become aware with your IAT's, this will tell you when the blower is heat soaked and when you need to cool off with the happy pedal. Lastly, I'm not a fan of meth injection one single bit and look at is as more of a band-aid for good fuel. I have personally seen even the "best" meth systems stop working or simply run out of fluid.... This can definitely ruin an otherwise perfectly good trip to the track or cruise to a show. You likely are not trying to squeeze every last pony out of the motor so I vote for letting it ride sans the meth injection (my .02 cents and I'm sure I'll get read the riot act for it, lol)
