Cortc, you might want to look at Boostd7's sticky. You've been doing all sorts of crazy stuff and maybe you could get a bigger consumer base by utilizing this free advertisement. I like the products you've made, and I don't see why others wouldn't. Anyway good luck with all of your projects.

Yes they will work on an AT, they could be made black with the alternator in gold to match the stock...

That's great! Then count me in!

cortc you said earlier in this thread "Under driving is good and bad... bad in that it reduces cooling capacity and charging capacity at idle..."
can you please clarify that for me? I'm asking because I'm not sure if underdriven pulleys are worth the risk. Will you put underdriven ones in your car or will you stay with the lightened ones?

Thanks

I would be interested in a set of lightweight pulleys if they looked close to stock. I want the stealth appearance. Are those HP numbers at the wheels or crank?

Will your final package for lightened pulleys include the new fan belts and normal stainless bolts? And only the Titanium bolts will add the $XXX adder? I think you have my interest now also.

Awesome, sorry I can't buy any of your products yet. Poor college student, won't be buying my 8 until June or so. I'm waiting until I work up enough money, am able to use the car(freshmen cannot have cars here), for good apr and a good deal on a one year old new model. Once I get my car, I'll let you know. Keep making cool stuff, and I'm excited to see these put to production. Buy Cortc's pulleys, NOW!!!

How is the weather down there? At least give us a proposed date that we can place orders, and a anticipated ship date for procurring funds. I was ready to buy the SR pulleys

Ok, I will be getting back on this project as soon as I ship all of the CF Dash POD covers; do not have time to do both at the same time...

These pulleys work with the stock belts...

I know the price got taken out by the mods but could you PM me the price? You said you made some that were underdriven, does that mean we can get some that are underdriven as well as lightweight?

Working with cortc on these pullies will definitely be quicker than the CF Gauge Pod project. The CF took a long time to complete, but I think cortc is turning out show-quality pieces for his 8. I could buy lightened pullies today from Unorthodox, but I want to see some of what Carlos cranks out. I'm sure they will be sweet. If you could, post up some pics of the initial ones so we can all drool for awhile...
