MMS Pulley update.... Well the belt held 
And the car was making some awesome power. I got two 11 sec runs in on a track with no prep(finally 11's again). 60ft times were in the 1.9 high 1.8s all night. But I did get a new MPH best. I ran a 12.2@121! backed up with a 12.0@119! WITH NO N2O. Then BOOM the car broke 
It sounded like the rear let go so I coasted to the shut down area, pulled off but the car "seemed" fine but was making a weird noise and vibration. So we headed home, driving 25mph as the car was vibrating pretty bad....it was a long drive 
Parked it for the night and crawled under it the next morning to find out what happened. To my amazement my BMR torque arm was the thing making all the noise. One of the spherical rod ends let loose. Here is the pics, I am impressed that the car broke one of these things like this. I am running only -2.5 deg pinion angle so its nothing extreme. 
It was an easy fix as my brother had two shperical rod ends on his old BMR torque arm he had in his garage so it cost me nothing but time to fix.
If I can get her back into the 1.6's or 1.5's she will go low low 11's or maybe a 10.99
The MMS pulley is awesome!

Re: MMS Pulley update.... Thanks Bos, I just can't wait till I get some good passes in. Glad to see that you are nearing the end of the tunnel too. I hope your car goes as good as it should. I am proud of my BMR stuff, I've had it on the car since 99 and it has held up awesomely, I am sure it won't let you down.
Frank, yep we were there until 10:45 thats when the car broke. We left immediately after that, as I didn't know how long it was going to take to get back up here(NE Heights) I can't believe how many frickin crappy trucks were out there and I don't mean the lightning club either.
XLR8NSS Nope couldn't afford to get a new crank pulley until next week, then it goes off to the machine shop to get pinned. I did see a PBM(?) pulley with three pin holes already drilled in it and keyed as well for 220 from nasty performance.com. But I am not sure the blower CP will mate with it. As for the breakage, it was good breakage this time, i.e. fixed for free and was due to the car making some power too :p
here is a video of that nights runs 9.2 megs
