SuperCharger Pulley...bad for supercharger...bad for mileage
i will soon be changing my more-than-worn out belts...so in the process, should i change out my *.c. pulley? i do NOT want to sacrifice my mileage, and i certainly do NOT want to run my *.c. beyond a speed that it is supposed to run...will changing the pulley shorten the life of the *.charger?

making things work will wear things out. making htings work harder could wear out quicker. Id suggest doing other mods before you change a supercahrger pully in my opinion its not worth your time if your looking for gas milage and a everyday driver...thoguh i could be wrong

Bean, going down one step (from 3.8 to 3.6) probably won't affect your mileage that much, if you only use it when you need the speed. The extra RPM'* are well within the 'safe' operating range of the M90. There'* alot of guys running 'hotter' pulleys with no probs. These Eatons are tough as hell.
I suggest you run your question by Brian at Pulley Boys. His email is pulymkr@pulleyboys.com
The guy is a wealth of information. Those are his pulleys you see at the GPstore.

o.k. great. thanks. i'll run my q. by mr. pulley and see what he has to say. i am assuming that this is a pretty easy job if i have the belts off anyways right? also, i am going to replace my brake shoes/pads...nothing new here...is there? antilock or anything...will it stop me? i have done brakes a bunch of times on several cars, but not on antilock equipped jobs. one last thing...will, do i need to get a higher flow exhaust before i change out the pulley? don't want to create more constipation than there is stock
thanks for your help guys

will,
what are you getting mileage wise? i am fully aware that "performance and mileage don't mix"...but....um have you guys noticed the price of premium lately? i'm literally a couple of cents short of $2/gal. where i live. and to top it off, i just can't keep my foot from mashing the pedal so, trying to get a bit of performance without killing my mileage....at least until after the war...can you blame me? and just a quick side note...um i have come to understand that we only procure 3% of our oil from Iraq....so why the hay are our prices going up? arg.
a very BAKED bean! :?
