The 500 Madness lightened crank pulley is here! Supposed to be good for 6 WHP due to it's UNSPRUNG weight advantage

I wonder how much they'd weigh, anyway?
I find aftermarket a lot of times is the way to go.

Well they might be heavier because of how they're made (forged) but they could take what a DD would give it and they loOK incredible
I'm willing to work it off this spring, just gotta find the business!

Thanks Monica, I am a "wheel snob" and these take it to TEN:
In the glass case lookin' all alone!
These are Euro-spec and do come up for sale from time to time, funky cool and unique as hell!
I would love to find someone with a nice collection of DD's that wants them taken care of on a monthly basis or every 2 weeks, this would be a dream as I'd make enough extra money to buy what I really, really want and do what I love on the side.
I guess we'll see how it goes:dig:

The ported TB arrived yesterday!
Not sure why the pics come up so small when I post them. I actually had to get the actual AG app again because I can't post pics using Tapatalk for whatever reason
Any who, you should be able to see how smooth the inside of the TB is. There's no more bottleneck and it's been opened up from 45-46-45 mm to 47 mm throughout. Its also a brand New TB from MOPAR so no worries.
I'm going to try and get this and the pulley installed soon as I need an oil change anyways, so it would be a good time to do it all at once. I expect the FMIC to be here by the middle of March if I had to guess. No real hurry on that as it needs to warm outside for that install as my buddy Hectour is doing that for me.
PLEASE BE SPRING ALREADY

So it's a Mopar part? Nice! You can get that installed under warranty still then?

Yeah I am having the dealership install it. It's all stock appearing on the outside with porting to the inside and flat head bolt heads in the flapper valve to increase airflow, every little bit helps.
I expect these 2 mods to get a thumbs up from the "butt dyno"

I'm expecting more throttle response so the "butt dyno" isn't going to be going overboard, that will be reserved for the ATM FMIC
