Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.

Bill is trying to tell you, many years ago.....he amazingly discovered something.

He came to the conclusion that no manufacturers made an underdrive crank pulley (dampener) for a Mach 1.

He then found out that Paul S at PHP used a set on a Mach 1.....and had engine problems. I actually think I remember Paul doing a test on a Mach 1 years ago....running like high 11's with a couple bolt ons and some slicky poos. Maybe it was in a magazine? Didnt he use March pulleys on that car? I dont remember. I know they only gained a couple horse....but he tested it after he also installed gears and built rear I think.

Anyhow, I have seen low compression on a low mileage stock 4V, I have seen broken pistons in a stock tuned stock modular, I have seen a handful of people break the oil pump with stock dampener/stock flywheel-clutch.

It is a risk we take.....and I have pretty good odds I guess!
