    Wednesday's Almost Here!!!

    well april 14th is my tune day, and since i raced my buddys CTSC stage 2 FG2 (see "On The Road" section for race info) i've decided to do as much as i can to get the most out of this car, so i ordered my 62 1/8th inch Gates MicroV belt, only came in 8 rib version, but im handy with a razor :) and my 3.8 is going on sunday, and im going to be driving it on the basemap for the 4.0, not beating on it, just driving. I will datalog one pull, just to check slippage, but hopefully i hit over 8psi

    napa could not get me that belt anymore! the only belts they could get me were a 62.75" and a 57". your's was a 61", I was able to get the little longer one so it wraps under the pulley more. I may sandblast the grooves of the pulley to roughen them up so it grabs
