An awful lot of acronyms and industry specific lingo being tossed out in this thread. You might just sell 20% more of these upgrades if you talk to your customer rather than your engineer. Rule #1 of effective sales... lol

IronMike,

You are correct and my apologies. I'm not much of a salesman, in fact none of us are, we should probably hire some lol.

GB: Group Buy, synonymous with GP: Group Purchase. Basically a sale price set for X amount of forum members for a product or product(s) usually done upon introduction of said part(s), but not always.

Thanks again!

BTW: Exceedingly impressed with the way you have handled/addressed the multitude of challenging questions in this and other product threads you have started. You may or may not be a salesman, but your professional business and marketing acumen shines bright. Your technical insight is equally apparent.


Depending on how my Monday unfolds, your phone will be ringing, probably after noontime. I have questions I know you cant answer on the public forum.

Agreed!

VMaxTuning's open approach on this forum and willingness to take on any and all challenges without getting rattled is both remarkable and admirable. I've never seen anything like it on half-dozen or so other forums.

I very much agree as well. I have done some tuning on some of my previous cars (Audi's), but I have never met such open and informative representatives from any tuners before. Hats off!

FTFY...
Unless there were more in the last two pages. I had a snark/troll comment prepared and lost track of actual relevant content.

What would be the performance difference between the 10mm & 20mm lower/crank pulleys?

Without being a wise-***, I am fairly certain that the boost increase of the +20mm pulley will be almost double that of the +10mm pulley. I'm guessing that difference could be close to 3/4 psi boost, more if coupled with an upper reduction pulley. Pure speculation. As Capt. Piccard would say: "we need Data".

We'll get some numbers up in the next two days. Apologies, I'm the first to return from vacation (the first 4 days I've taken consecutively in 7 years), and we'll be back up to full speed by Tues.

Thank You

Thanks Chris, no rest for the weary, going on ~38hrs straight presently--nothing crazy, yet. First one back always takes the brunt of the make-up work.

So guys, how many people are in for the +20mm lower pulley? Is it just Unhingd and me?

Real shame, was hoping we could get a good GB deal and excellent customer service from Vmax as well as get a good aftermarket community started for the F-Type.

I have other modifications I will be doing before spending $1000 on a pulley...

It's just common courtesy.
VMax, my apologies for being the major OT contributor. Over time I forgot the primary intent of this thread.

Cambo, I will create a "Lower Pulley" thread. Please feel free to move any of my posts that at are irrelevant to this thread over to the new one. It may make sense to move some of the others as well.

Thank you.

EDIT

OK I moved a few posts over to the "general lower pulley discussion thread" - Cambo

EDIT 1
Cambo, thank you very much! - Unhingd
