The UPR tensioner idler pulley you sold me seems to have worked. Went out to PIR Saturday night and ran till they closed due to rain. Got 7 runs in and that is with a Predator tuning change. There were only about 8 cars running....

My best was a 12.6 @ 113 mph with a 2.1 60' time. Track was cold, tires would get wet, and they didn't lay any VHT, so launches were crap and ET's showed accordingly. I was only looking for mph this time though. OMG, I sound like a Supra owner.......

Last couple times out all I could get was 110 mph so I figured the non slip pulley was slipping at the top end. Looks like I was right. It may have also wore down the belt and probably does not grip as well as possible. I will put the Lightning pulley or consider going to a 2.8 or lower..... I'm still debating the Apten and it has to go back to the dealer one of these days due to rear end "tink" noise AGAIN! Soooooooo, I have to put the stock pulley back on, and, for those who don't know, I have a dent to fix. All this and my paint scheme makes the next few weeks very busy for the Cobra.

Glad it worked Jordan! It always sucks to see a mph loss.
Thanks for emailing me the pics of your car.

Yeah, the UPR is a nice piece. The Billet Flow one is nice as well (they look almost the same).
