Do you think that the "L" will be faster with the new JDM lower crank pulley?

Well do ya, do ya. Will I go faster or will I just spin my tires and make a lot of smoke. Do you think that with the blower rev'n higher it will sound cool? I just gota know.

I'd be willing to bet that the answers to your questions are "yes, yes, and yes" (in that order). I think Spiro said he was planning to ship them out to the people with orders shortly (I don't have the $ right now), so if you're that iffy about doing it, maybe you should wait for someone to post actual #'s (but I'd do it now if i had the coin). later...

WCFan, I have drove a L with the pulley change and yes it was faster. It seemed to me that the truck picked up speed faster than my L without the pulley. JDM stated I beleive that it increased torque by about 45 ftlbs. This occurs at a very low rpm. I would say that you would most benefit from this if you were running slicks. I got in on the group buy and I only the F-1's. I guys I will have to wait and see how well the F-1's will hook with the additionl torque they receive. I think that JDM should send a free set of F-1's with all their orders because if I add anymore of their performance products my F-1's are sure going to take a beating this summer. HAHA

Of course it will, the gains will be 4-5 HP, but around 35 ft. lbs of torque. I think its safe to assume that the pulley had a big part in getting me the times that I am currently running

Ha! You create your own market for the F1's with all these performance mods! Maybe you should SELL them too!

Wait! I see a business oppurtunity here... How about I sell F1's under the JDM banner? JDM F1's! JDM Nittos! JDM BFG Comps!

HEEE!!!!

I have the smaller pulley on the supercharger, and it definetley made a big difference. The only other thing that made a noticeable difference was 373's.I do think slicks will help,I will find out in spring.
