After a long all night race to get home instead of chilling at the shop for another day.... I can comment on all of this. I’m playing around at the shop thinking about having a Corona (beer) and I get a call from my wife telling me that she just found out that Utah is restricting border crossings on Friday. I’ve got a 8 hour drive home and if I don’t want to spend the next week living in a motel in Phoenix, I’d better get my ass moving! Strange times we’re in! Anyway.... disappointed to not get the results with Primetime we were hoping for. That brings up the subject that I’ve experienced over and over. You try to get the info you need from the manufacture of whatever you’re buying and there’s nobody to talk to that knows shit. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the Maggie on James motor was “Is that belt on the right side of the tensioner?” Of coarse it was..... but the angles that the belt runs is just not putting a lot of wrap on the pulley. Not a problem I guess...... until to put 25 lbs boost to it! Tommy already recognized that the stock tensioner wasn’t going to cut it, so that had been swapped out with one of the heavy spring billet pieces. That belt was tight! Not enough
. It smoked that thing like a big fat stogie. So now it’s getting a Griptech and a idler pulley added to the need to have stuff to make it work. That’s all news to Magnuson. Anyway..... next week!!!! Unfortunately I wont be there so I’ll be waiting on the results with everybody else. One thing I can say is.... man that thing is beautiful and sings like a bird!
