Nice Pair of pullies!

Now the work starts to address some issues before the next race....

I fabricated a new throttle cable bracket and installed and adjusted a brand new race throttle cable from Ireland Engineering.


Bottom cable stop (goes to lever arm for gas pedal.
Top View also new return springs
I figured that besides reducing my rotating mass and free'ing up some HP it might help improve my cooling. Since the water pump will be rotating slower the water will be flowing a bit slower thru the block at 6-7000rpms and therefore soaking up more heat and then staying longer thru the radiator therefore exchanging more heat......

that's my theory anyways.....

Lets see how it works out.
The stock crank pulley is 1lbs 3oz.
The Ireland Pulley is 9.2 oz. (nice weight savings huh?)


Ireland alternator pulley 7oz.

If your going to be draining your alum. radiator alot like I do sooner or latter the threads might get damaged.

My solution was to install this cool little petcock I got from my local hardware store.

I highly recommend it ......

I saw this on the table at a race supply vendor at willow springs and picked it up.

During my first race weekend I quickly realized that paying attention to the oil pressure gauge during a race is very difficult and can be dangerous.

So i thought a simple oil idiot light would be a good important addition to my dash.....

removed my dash drilled hole for the red light
installed the T on the back of the gauge.
voila

done!

Hopefully this idiot will see this light if it ever comes on.....
