Haha your old stomping grounds! I'm sure you don't miss it though
What doesn't make sense is my car is lighter than it was stock (3617) but I'm fine with that!! Once I have my slicks and front runners on ill weigh it again I think ill be about 3400

For anyone who's running a Turbo in front of the power steering pulley look into dumping this stock ****! Either had too much tension or heat could be both. But made a mess all over the engine bay. Just bought a billet pulley and need a new PS reservoir

Dang man that sucks... Ive put 300 miles on mine of pretty hard driving and no problems like that yet. But my exhaust housing sets more in front of the water pump rather than the ps pulley. Hopefully mine wont do this. Hate that for ya man. Its always something thats for sure.

Nice pulley! I actually went with one from one of the newer vettes for mine. Not sure if it would work on a truck pump, but it was a nice metal pulley (rather than the cheap plastic) and was only like $30 shipped. Might be a cheap option for other folks if it fits.

Nice I hope it stays cooler. If not like Martin and I said try setting the fans to like 165 deg that should really help everything. But if not move the rad up a couple inches and use the fans like stock because they pull 4000cfm and move enough air for your set up no problem. I know its annoying but shouldnt be too much work to do that.
