What are the options for differnt pulleys for mine? (its a 1990) Are there several different sized pulleys avaialable, or just a few..or just one?
I would probably want the mildest upgrade available...something that I would notice in performance, but would put the least amount of added stress on my 'seasoned' motor.
By seasoned, I mean: 70,000 miles, very well maintained, not abused or raced over the years, and everyhting works well. It runs great. I recently installed a new radiator, new hoses and belts. I put the radiator in becuise the stock one was looking a little green around the top tank...who needs that? But it was working fine before I changed it.
It seems that after putting this new cat-less, free-er flowing exhaust on, the car doesn't have the same 'snap' it did off the line as before. I guess that is attributable to the less restriction/backpressure means less overall boost...which means: less performance. But at least the head gaskets have a little easier time of it, which is what I was after.
How much are the diferent pulleys? Does the belt need to be changes also? How easy is it to change the pully?
