i think the damper is good for some et, not sure how much mph. after installing mine i immediately noticed the car being more responsive, as if it wasnt already. it spins more from a 2nd gear roll than it did before.

Out of all of the new non forged Welds the Belmonts are definitely my favorite.

I’ve heard the UD picks up about 5-7whp and helps the engine idle and spool up a little bit quicker.
I’ll probably just do the Rotofab/Bellmouth and C85 tune first. If I’m not completely happy I’ll probably pull the trigger on the UD pulley

i will say if you drive the car on the street much, the damper is worth every penny. it makes the car so smooth. i wish i had installed it a long time ago. it sat in my garage for a year.

when are you doing the cai stuff? why c85? do you plan on buying a drum of it to keep around?

Doing the intake stuff early september, i might put the UD pulley and C85 on hold for a bit
In a few weeks a friend is going to let me barrow his 26” Dragpack. He swears ill go faster with that, if i do go faster with that i’ll just sell my 28s and get 26s instead of spending $500 plus another $250 on the UD install and $200-300 on 10-15 Gallons of C85 just to get it dialed in.

Haven’t installed the Cold air intake since it’s been crazy hot, in SoCal. I’ll wait till there’s some cold air to intake.
