That was the original plan but everyone preferred weekly.

honestly id like to keep it that way.

alot of guys dont show up sometimes cause theyre working or have other plans.

if we were to do it bi-weekly then the chances of them showing up would be cut by half.

and since this meet has been weekly ive seen more locals who come regularly every week.

plus if its kept weekly then its easier for people to remember.

this is true...weekly is much easier to remember. I also didn't make it out last night due to work I had to get done, but I hope to be there next week.

Well, I'll definitely be there from now on, since it is literally a few minutes from my place.

Keep it weekly.

Some people just CANT make it every-week cause it they have other stuff to do -- im sure we will have another 34 car turnout one of these weeks.

like 5 people didnt show up cause they were busy but will next week.

well, its kinda my fault for opening the trunk ... I just dunno when and how lol !

I tested it with my battery charger, it shows 2.1 Volt ... LOL ! oh yeah thats some deep *** drain right there , I tried to charge it with my charger, Rapid Charge mode @ 30A, 15 minutes, it didnt even get to 7 volt yet. so its pretty much dead.

NO BIGGIE ! I went and got a brand new one today ... Optima battery's 3 yr replacement works good. they dont even check it, no questions asked. got a new one outa door in 15 minutes

Autozone's Duralast Gold gets the same 3 yr free replacement ... but ... I trust Optima battery power better

they're pretty noticeable. throttle response is better.. but it's nothing crazy. It's good for how much it costs

they claim '9whp'.. but i don't really buy it. probably closer to 5 ish. it's not hard to install, especially if you have someone who's done it before. I've never done it before, so it took me about an hour.. couldn't figure out why the car wasn't starting and it was because i forgot to put a piece back in (thanks to kenny for helping me figure it out)

Greddy is same size as Stock ----- no underdriven, just lighter and "pretty shinny blue looking"

AP is under drive pulley, hmm I forgot how many %, was it like 20? under drive the water and Alternator. Dont use AP under drive pulley if you have a problematic Alternator, and/or you are using aftermarket water pump like Mazmart's

Why? cuz it will put extra stress to Alternator. and if you use it with aftermarket water pump, you might not get enough water flow at idle to mid rpm.

Install ... probably one of the easiest thing to do, the biggest challenge is to remove everything in front of those pulleys. Which is the airbox and battery box, lol !
