Just a little I've been doing for the next P-headed venture.

isnt your smooth water pump pulley going to fuck up your belt? I think you need a grooved pulley.

Looks sweet.

I ran a smooth pulley for 6 years, current owner still has same pulley and belt 3 years later. No issues.

BTW if you spin a reverse rotation water pump in the standard direction it won't cool for shit....lol Learned that at someon elses expense, because he "wasn't sure"
 
I ran NMRA Factory Stock with it this past weekend and squeezed an [email protected] out of it in the 3rd round of qualifying. In eliminations I got my 1st 117mph pass out of it on an 11.56 hit. Now it's time for a good clutch so we can really see what's left!

Made a few (11 to be exact) tuning pulls on the dyno to get it dialed in. Turns out there wasn't much to dial in. From the 11.52 pass tune to the final tune it was only a matter of 4hp picked up. She makes steam for alot longer than I would have expected so I was totally short-shifting it with my 6-6300 shifts!

And this shows last years stock Explorer vs this 308. Not much in terms of peak, but damn near 50hp and 40lb/ft where I need it through the traps!

Thanks Mitch, thanks John!

Now to have it ready for Joliet next month. Time for a new clutch, and a secret weapon intake and TB I purchased off of another FS racer. :-) I want to leave IL with an 11.4-something pass under my belt!
