I have my SVO pulleys sitting in a box waiting to be installed. I should get time to do them in the next week, so I'll let you know if I have any problem w/ the "piggy back" style pulleys.
Thanks for the torque specification tips guys, the SVO only says 60 ft lbs's, but I'll give them a call.
I read the MM&FF article about windage and how they picked up 10HP by using 4qts of oil.
If you check out the dyno chart, that motor is anything but a stock motor w/ bolt on's. I don't have the mag here, but if I remember right it was well over 400HP. I don't think there would be anything near 10HP to gain on a stock motor w/ bolt on's. it maybe worth it for a pass at the strip, but I would never consider it for the street. Synthetic oil gives a 1-2% increase in HP, so thats 2-6HP for some of us, thats fine w/ me.
