Well its about time you beat me in something!!! After all I am more of a man than you (drinks tapwater and proud of it), faster X, bigger.......well you know, the wife brags about it, my LS gets better mileage, better looking (what the hell, might as well add it in), and I can DEFINATELY SPELL BETTER!!!
I have an idea for a "Track only" mod. I would like to hear opinions on this....
The idea is to buy a shorter belt and come up with an extra idler pulley at the two o’clock position above the water pump pulley. When at the track, I could take the longer stock belt off, and use the shorter belt that will use the "Extra" idler pulley, and bypass the power steering and AC. When done at the track, I can put the longer stock belt back on and have power steering and AC. Now, I do know that this could cause a safety issue without the power steering, and that's why I said TRACK ONLY.
Jake, you know you love me.....son in a way going by what you said, you love (Edit: men who give other men lovin')... Sicko...
Anyways back on topic. I would not bother with doing that whole AC power steering bypass thing as it will probably not net you much gain if any. The A/C freespins at WOT anyways so that doesn't cause much drag and the power steering pump is pretty free spinning too. It might net you a 1/10th in the 1/4 mile so I guess it all depends on how dedicated you are to squeezing every last bit of speed out of your truck.
(Edit: Person who likes other boys)! Bottled water is for (Edit: men who cannot tie a fish hook onto their line). Its tap water all the way for my cheap (Edit: Persons piece of anatomy that fecal matter exits from)! After all, how do you think I am able to buy all those mods for my truck???
I vote you ban Jakee for being a bottled water drinking pansy-(edit: a persons rear end). : Real men like our Giardia and other water parasites alive and kicking!
The same as I do it! I post what I want to say to get it out there and then go back and proofread it at least 3 times because it is usually so jacked up. I would be one incoherent SOB if I didn't do that! You all would not understand a word I said! Hehe. Ok, back on track.
Jake I suggest some weight reduction for the track. Gut interior, run Geo Metro spare tires (skinnies) for the front, the works.
