Advice on upcoming mods.

It is designed for use with the factory belt.

I would also recommend the OP buy a new belt anyway. If the original belt is still on there it's pretty old with those 4500 miles.

Yea, I plan to.

Is the gates green belt still the go to? I saw some with a blue belt, never seen that one before.

Cant get the blue one anymore that Im aware of at least. I plan to upgrade to the gates green soon myself.

Probably saw it on my car, I got lucky and have the gates blue belt, but they're impossible to find now.

If you use VP Octanium or the Boostane 1/2 bottle per full tank or at 1/4 tank refill should get you to 95-96 octane. For a few hundred dollars a season you can at least have your own peace of mind. Just don't store over winter with booster. Run 1/2 tank of fresh fuel thru it before winter storage. You should love the 410's which allow you some real fun 2nd gear low rpm pulls and awesome 3rd gear bursts. Plus you can cruise 65mph at 2000rpm in 6th with taller 305x35x20 MT's. Given your driving plans Sticky Mickeys are a must ! Sounds like you're in for some fun.

I would like to get in line to buy it as well if its factory length and you are willing Bearbo...I love that it matches the valve covers!

Change your Fuel Filter before the Tune. Add a Passenger Side Oil Separator if you don’t already have one. Enjoy the New Power and post the results. Good luck!!

 

[Bearbo]

Have a tear down going on right now. Unsure if I will be using when finished. Will let you know if I don’t use.

Will I need a BAP for a 2.4 pulley and boostane?

Nope, only if you do a blower swap or E85

 

[CobraKid04]

Great. Thanks.

This is the easiest car I have ever modded. Love it.

+1. I dont even use the boostane and mine pulls like a frieght train with no issues. (2.4 upper and bolt ons)

Might I suggest something besides a " canned tune ", maybe there is a shop near you that can tune it on the street..

Yep, no canned tune.

I'm going to a well respected local tuner.

Good. Don’t **** with tuning. These things aren’t cheap to fix. Take a look at the cost of just a set of rods and pistons...

Yea, I got a quote from a forum sponsor shop to build the motor. Around 12k. That's me dropping the car off to them.

Just pistons/ rods necessary hardware, opg upgrade.

Big money.

Yup, just to do a built short block is 6k. And that's with me pulling everything apart myself.
