Hey all. I just bought some new sh*t and thought i would share. I just picked up a stage IV (clutch, stiffer pp, 7lb flywheel) kit from matrix and also a pulley kit from tracracing (crank, alternater, power steering). What i plan to do is take a base like dyno of my car with tt exhaust only, then do the clutch kit and dyno, then do the pulley kit and dyno. I am interested in seeing how much hp can be gained by weight saving things like flywheel, and pullies. Think about this for a sec....the stock flywheel weighs approx 17lbs the lightened one is 7lbs thats equals a drop of about 10lbs...not bad....then add to that the weight savings of the crank pulley....stock is 7lbs (accroding to tracracing) and the aluminum one is less the 1lb...that a drop of approx 6lbs. The car should be a rev happy beast after this. Just thought i would share with you all.
BTW i am doing all this becasue i am going FI in the spring (matrix stage II) and yes i already have the quaife...its being installed with the clutch kit.

The pulley kit is costing me $440 with shipping. They do require different belts, but i was told the kit comes with part numbers for the belts so you can go to a Autozone type of place and pick them up. Not sure about unorthodox (i dont really know what unorthodox pullies really are) i did not ask...the biggest thing i was interested in was how light the crank pulley was (less then 1lb). I did not get the weight specs on the other two pullies but they too are aluminum. I could not just buy the crank pulley i had to get the kit. When i get um i will weigh them for you guys.
