Default Need help- Adjustable Powerband install

i finally picked up a Kaleco adjustable powerband!
Great, Cheap mod- for only around $250!
...anyone ever do one of these with DIY pics?
(i'm not mechanically inclined, so don't get too technical)

now i can get it under the frame, but i think my boost bar is getting in the way of bolting it up...
any help?

You need a special tool. Adjustable Power band adjusting tool, part # 4536-99-00023. The boost bar has to be relocated.

this is from the website...
------------

Wish you had a little more low end torque? Maybe you want a high revving formula1-esque screamer?
KaleCoAuto's Adjustable Powerbands are the perfect solution!
The power bands are made from titanium-injected rubber, with high grade 440 fasteners.
Six links are included. One band is for horsepower, and the other for torque.
You may use more than three links per side, but extreme caution should be taken!
------------
and this is one of the many good reviews of the 6-link APB!
------------
All of the instructions were printed upside-down. Installed them anyway… all of them… and cracked my frame in three places when I hit the gas for the first time. There was so much torque that the engine twisted 90 degrees. Now I have to drive with the passenger door open and I keep hitting mailboxes.

LOL... i love that website! all the products are great!
i'm saving up to get the PRS's ...Piston RETURN SPRINGS!
------------

High temperance chromed metal resists temperatures up to 300'f.
KaleCoAuto piston return springs FORCE the pistons back into the motor, no longer relying on gravity!
This effectively increases your revs, horsepower, and peak torque!
You must buy one return spring per piston.
Rotary engines require install of pistons for full compatibility.


Happy Weekend!
