Just got back from seeing Brian, owner and operator of Pulley Boys and got a new 2.2" pulley installed along with the oversized idler. I'm a VERY HAPPY camper with how much more power I got from it!

Here are some pics. First, the new pulley and idler:

What I woke up too, almost hindered my plan of going and getting the pulley:

Brian'* Coupe GTP:


Brian'* GTP and the new, more powerful, (and dirty) bonnie:


I thank you Brian for helping me install everything and for the fun experience! And for everyone else, I would highly recomend Pulley Boys!

Way to go John.

That pulley should really help this summer....trying to keep up to Bill.

We are going to have some real Nasty Bonne'* at our Meet in Oregon.

Awesome, I am going to get a new pulley come spring. What does the oversized idler do? Does it prevent KR?
