    Sure can.. you just lack a little boost power.


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    about a 10 second job to take that off. Thanks again, guys. Ordered all three new pulleys and a new belt - that was the hard part...

    Just thought it was worth mentioning one of my buddy's daily drives a top swapped L36 GT Grand Prix with headers running without the supercharger belt, at the moment. That is okay enough to drive from point A to point B though, because it already had high compression.
