I've purchased a set of OBX underdrive power pulleys, and the box came with only one belt, because the seller probably lost, and since he had no idea... nothing we could do about it!
Can I use the same OEM belts for these pulleys that I've got? btw.. it's the PS and alternator only, the crank will only come in a few months!
I have the "haynes" manual and I have not found anything on how to remove the pulleys, but I sure did find something about loosening the belts.
Also, I would like to install the cam gear that I've got as well, and was wondering if there will be extra horsepower if the cam gear is set a "0 degrees"? If yes, how come?
Last question... what is the main diferences between a 8ls flywheel and a 12ls one?
What are the differences while driving and shifting and throtle response?

If you got any suggestions, opinions or the answers, please post it up, aight?... Thanks guys.....

 

you will need new belts...you can do one of the following:

-either call the company that makes the underdrive pullies and ask them how much the new belts would be, or...

-install the new pulleys, then take a piece of string and wrap it around where the belts should go...then measure the string, and go to napa and tell them you need a belt in that particular size...there are all kinds of belts in just about every size you could possible need...

hope that helps...

interesting way to start a thread, calling the moderator(s) here a "***" and a "hater". smart.

it won't tell you how to do that. just unbolt the pulleys from the components. it's harder than it sounds.

no it will be just like running a stock pulley.

a lighter flywheel will rev up quicker but will also drop revs quicker than a heavier one.

 

just put the cam gear at -4 degrees..


thats the best result i can find

 

I'd be real hella careful on that camgear. If it's crap like 95% of them out there its too weak in the center and could crack. And I don't care enough about your petty problems to verify for you if its strong enough. What you gonna call me a *** and a hater too?

 

the pulleys are made by OBX, and the cam gear is made by AEM.... and the flywheel of 8ls is from Fidanza, and the price is under 200... I find it nice... but like... I saw other aluminum flywheels costing up to 500 dollars from ACT and unorthodox....
