VMP TVS Upgrades, MOAR BOOST!

[BMR Tech]

So, in preparation for NMRA Bowling Green I decided to add some parts to the 2015.

Last outing I was able to run a 9.7@142 in horrible air at OSW, with the 6-Rib Belt and 69mm Upper Pulley and 5% lower.

Lethal sent me out a 170 stat, to keep the temps at bay.

Rey@Juggernaut hooked me up with some sweet Borla Headers.

I also ordered up an 8-Rib conversion kit from VMP, so I can add a little boost.

I plan on starting off with the same diameter (69mm) upper pulley, but I am installing a 15% lower, pictured to the right of the pic above.

My favorite piece of this kit is this trick new low profile tensioner. Justin put a lot of work into this piece, and with a 20% stiffer tensioning rate, I assume it will help control the belt much better than the standard tensioner.

With the 6-Rib kit, I feel I am lucky not getting slip with the 69mm upper. I have a MoSaleen Idler on it, and I predict I will not need that piece on this new set-up.

Check this thing out!

:beer:

I am happy to have such quality parts available from these guys.

That should be a sweet upgrade! I like my 8 rib set up. I'm running the 5% lower, but might have to upgrade to the 15% for next year.

What class are you running in BG? I'll be there for True Street.

Nice cache of parts right there. Pit over by us in GT500/Terminator if you like! Rick is bringing BBQ for everyone this year.

Not sure. I will be there specifically for time slips. True Street would offer some passes, but (3) of them aren't going to be worth much.

So I will likely just enter like Super Stang or something. We will see.

I have a race lined up with Watson Racing Saturday night for the grudge event.

See ya there!

I would love to!

I am thinking Justin may want me to pit with him at the VMP booth....but if not, I will definitely pit with you guys. :-D

Hhhmmm Watson ran a 9.40 against me at NMCA last month in 2500DA...

I might be down for a grudge race!

Dibs on your mosaleen idler if it fits a 11-14 also!
