Installed predator and RR 2.95!!

[Chonger]

All I can say is holy shizzett!!! Now I know what it feels like to drive in a car that had the pulley swap. Man did it wake up the car!! I woke up early this morning with a really bad hangover and made the swap. A pretty easy job. The Reichard pulley looks just plain evil.

I installed the pulley tune but set the A/F to the richest setting. There have been too many bad posts about the predator pulley tune so I am being very careful. I also wanted to compensate for the C&L kit making the car run a little bit lean. Timing has not been altered. No signs of pinging. I only ran a few blasts in second gear at around 40 to 65. I can't wait to see what the car will do from a dead stop now.

Next week it is off to the dyno at Ramsey's Performance in Tampa. No more WOT runs until then. I will post the dyno graph with the AF. I am hoping for about the 450/450 range.

I have also used Need for Speed in the past. Tony is a real nice guy. I have spent a fortune at Ramsey's between my 2 F-Body cars and Cobra. I got the predator from Ramsey's. I believe it was $400 plus tax. Dennis Ramsey has a crazy 8 second Mustang in this months issue of MM & FF.
