Who is doing the testing for the dohccivic/ RVM Racing Maxima 95-01 3.0L Light Underdrive Crank Pulleys?
I know that there are 3 others. I think that dmbmaxima is one of them. Who else is in on it?

He has all of the test mules.

I am in because I am stock and an auto. Isn't Nealoc187 in? I would think that he would benefit. This is one of the few N/A mods that he lacks...

Do any of you plan to dyno? Steve - You already have a baseline, right?
Could you guys compare the weight to the stock pully and maybe see how much it does underdrive the accesories? Maybe sombody could get their hands on a Unorthodox Racing UDP for a side to side comparison.

yes i have a baseline and i might dyno just out of courtesy for the board because i was given the pipe. and a side by side of a UR UDP i think would be hard and pointless, they both give such mininal gains if there is a difference it won'be be noticable and i'll weight they at the postal scale at work.

I just meant a side by side visual inspection to see if the amount of underdriving was the same and if there where any noticable differences in quality. I would guess they probably coied the UPRD design though.

I would think that being off by the slightest measurement could result in problems, once you consider the centrifugal force that will be in play once it starts spinning...

I'll wait to see the product after it's been thorough tested. Isn't there a harmonic balancer that could get royally screwed by this? I've been told my many mechanics and other people in the industry that changing the crank pulley is a plain no no.

I got mine, and was reading the instructions. Did the part that refers yo uback up to the top seem odd to you guys? BOTH options apply to the same model years. Is this correct?
