just gotta watch your battery... i have enough problems running my goodies with an alternator. newer cars draw some power to operate. i had my battery croak last week just running the fans at low speed while in staging lanes. i guess trning 6k for 11 secs at a time isnt enough to charge it up??

Thats a big thing for the V6's to do...pull the belt, because it only takes about 15 seconds to pull it and put it back on because there is so much room.
The v6's gain about .2-.3 depending on the launch.
The onlytime I ever pulled it I had a shitty launch because I was a little nervous about overheating (no EWP) and my 60 was .1 slower than my previous best run and I still ran .1 faster than my personal best. So its DEFINATLEY worth some good ET.
I've been meaning to do it again because my car is much faster now than when I pulled the belt before.

was worth about 12rwhp on mine, tried it with no belt and a dynabatt, barely made 2 passes and thats pushing it to the line, it was worth some power for sure, but i spun on the only good run i got since the car didnt bogg as easy out the hole, my 60' was lil worse
i have a optima in the trunk now and i havent had a chance to get a clean pass out of it with the belt off yet, was haveing enought wheelie issues last time out, once i get it dialed in it was time to go, my best in sig was with the belt on, i should be able to pick up almost a tenth with the belt off next season
