They are carbon fiber, so there probably isn't much weight to be saved by replacing them.

Dave, Where did you get your belt, and how much different in length is it from stock? I have heard mixed stories about replacing the belt versus not. I have heard from some sources that the current tensioners on the car will take up the additional slack.

The 2.8" pulley adds approximately 3 psi to the supercharger. This is an increase of 25% over stock. I don't think the car would run properly without a tune. Adjustments need to be made to the A/F mixture, as well as spark timing in order to deal with the additional air flow. Without a tune...

Stock pulley is 3.25" (I think), and a re-tune is necessary when installing the smaller pulley.

Strange that they would use a stock Z06. Seems kind of unfair to the Vette to put it up against tuner cars. And there's no shortage of tuner solutions for the Z06, that's for sure. Thumbs down to Motor Trend for doing this.

Damn, I've got to get to the store!

Ken, does anything need to be done to take up the belt slack? Shorter belt? Installation of a new tensioner pulley? I would be concerned that a smaller SC pulley would loosen the belt just enough to potentially cause some slippage. Can you comment on this please? Thanks.

I agree. Being the owner of Ferrari's (previous), Lambo's (current), and the Ford GT, I would say that any reference that makes the car appear like it's competing for position in the pecking order would be a disservice to the GT. The GT is every bit the equal of the Ferrari's and Lambo's. And...

No! When did you send it?

I owned a Murci for 2 years, and I find the GT to handle far better than the Murcielago. The Murci has a sluggish turn-in, HEAVY steering, and not nimble at all (the Murci is a big bulky car). I sold the Murci in favor of the Gallardo just strictly based on the handling and agility advantage...

My car also has this, as does my friends car. I think the sound is inherent in all the transmissions. Not sure what it is, though.

What exhaust are you running?

Congrats Saber! May I ask how you went about stiffening the inlet tube? Do you have any pics of what you did there? Any driving impressions yet?

Hey guys, just wondering if everyone can share info on what suppliers are selling pulley mods for the GT. I'd like to consider doing this to my car, and want to research what is available. Is Kenne Bell the best way to go, or should I be considering something else? Thanks.

Looks nice. Do you have any sound files of the car using the stock muffler and Borla muffler?

Anybody have a sound/movie file of the GT with the full header set? I have seen the Borla SVT muffler vids, but none featuring the fully header.

CanuckGT, how did you get the car in that trailer??? Looks like about 1mm of clearance on each side! And how did you get out of the car, crawl through the window?

So Accufab actually has an insert available? Do you have any details on this? What about a stiffer inlet tube replacement?

It mentions on Kenne Bell's website that under high PSI that the stock inlet tube collapses, and they recommend replacing it with a unit by Accufab, however Accufab does not have such a product yet. For those of you that are running smaller pulleys and higher PSI, can you comment on the inlet...

I wasn't stating that I am having trouble modulating the throttle in corners. Just trying to illustrate that if you have track experience, then modulating the throttle in a straight line becomes a lot easier (utilizing similar skills gained on the track). As for seating position, I have my...
