wow, you guys are going to love my pictures when the car is done.

I have an eGay $20 aluminum underdrive crank pulley, milled the 2 unused teeth sets (teeth for p/s, a/c belts) and tonight I took the end mill and put 8 holes going parallel with the bolt.

It weighs .61 pounds.

lets review, your going to damage your crank, but not only that, in the pursuit of an extra half horsepower, you weakened the pulley to the point where now you have to worry about it breaking and taking out the timing belt, along with the head as well.

Transzex knows what hes talking about. This has been covered so much. There is a reason the harmonic damper is there, Honda didn't just feel like spending that much extra money in design/production of their crank pulley!

When any of this BS actually happens to my motor, then I will believe any internet RUMOR on here. I have been 35,000 miles with 0 problems, I will let that speak for itself.

Weakened the pulley? Give me a break . . . I haven't even put a picture of it up yet. So wait, you mean to tell that if the crank pulley breaks, the timing belt will go with it? Have you even seen behind your timing cover?

There are plenty of people on the internet with NO real world experience, If I wanted to hear that I can go on Corral.net, Stangnet.com and post up why I should get a 331 over a 347 because of its "Rod Ratio". Then I could post up about using stock 94-95 fuel lines which on the internet cannot support 500rwhp but I have helped put together a 352" with twin t3/t4s that made close to 850.

Some people . . .

If they are so great then why does NHRA/NDRA/IHRA ect all REQUIRE THEM.

Dude, my piece of junk d15b2 with bolt-ons is way different than any kind of real racing motor. My automatic even limits me to 6500 shift points. There is quite a bit of difference between a 9000 d16 and my junk. I wouldn't doubt my piston speed is easily 1500-2000 ft/min slower.
