Greetings All
just a word of warning re the Under Drive Pulleys, i have fitted a set of Battens Performance Under Drive Pulleys to my Pursuit & now i have a MAJOR traction problem
if i am driving along @ 60 Kmh & then nail it the noise from the rear is awsome :AAHHH: i carn't belive how much quicker this baby rev's it's amazeing
it's like a new lease on life going from :zzz: to :AAHHH: in an instant, i would put the Under Drive Pulleys up there with the Pacemaker's & Cold Air Intake & Throttle Body
the ease of fitment is simple, the quality of the pulleys is first rate & the added power & throttle responce is speachless :wnc: :AAHHH: :wnc:
my Ute was a little sleepy until 3200 Rpm & now it's awake as soon as the alarm goes off & the feet touch the floor & then all you need to do is hang on for the ride :AAHHH: :AAHHH:
Great news Rod.
I am going to wait and do the whole kit and caboodle on mine at once, zorst,cai,pulleys and when Barry gets the "boss edit" i will get it set up for all the mods.

See the extra benefits that can be accrued when one ignors the half cocked advice of fearful and/or negative people. GOOD ON YOU ROD, now perhaps you'll understand why I raved about them :wnc:
so, I gather your happy with the result? These thing's a likened to getting 'boob' jobs. Some people rave about them and others go on about the health risks....
In the end I'm pleased your happy....it sounds like a worthwhile thing to do, but imagine what your car will be like when a BOSS edit is available!!!

greetings Doc
i owe you an appoligy, i remember when you first got onto them i thought that you were Hallucinating but now after fitting them i guess you were right, my humble appoligies

Sorry rod, that's what I mean't....me need's to be more clear next time :wnc:
Do you think your 400m time will improve or do you think traction will become a major issue?

No need for that, I'm just pleased that your getting the same improvements that I noticed. Big difference between a FAST car and a QUICK car IMHO. I am led to believe that apart from Battens there are some pretty crappy Under Drives out there in Mod Land.
My biggest problem, now that that bloody Mod Bug has bitten again, is what to do next. :AAHHH: I don't want to go for a blower because thats a bit too radical in my book, throwing another $12000 at the car all at once for a blower and also getting a Typhoon would be ample justification for the other half to demand a house full of new furniture or something equally as boring. All I can think of is Computer mods :wnc:
hey rod you and the Doc are related are you lol...
no seriously rod i heard your wife used the Pursuit to go to the shops this morning and she wanted to know why she couldn't keep traction, she knew that you changed something because the power on the ute felt like it had increased.
she didn't know about this mod, Rod got busted...

no he just supplies my pills lol

got busted big time by the Hand Brake but i just told her to stop mucking around in my car... it sounded good at the time but when she got home she was convinced that i had done something
if she who must be obeyed can notice it i think we are all in for a good time :AAHHH: :angel:

sounds like a good wrap rod, sounds like you may have to pulley over your pulley....lol
interesting, barry's workshop may be busy as these things are working very well & if the flasher units are good news he may have to hire some packaging guys to send them all over the joint!
hi Rod C, I DO NOT HAVE THESE PULLEY'S YET, JUST COUGHED UP FOR A SET OF 19's AND A WANT TO PUT A TRANNY COOLER ON, LOOK AFTER THE AUTO....
ITS A GOOD THING EVERY WEEK THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE TO BOLT ON, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TRY THE BATTENS 80MM THROTTLE BODY SPACER IT HAS A NICE TORQUE CURVE THROUGH THE MIDDLE LOOKING ON THE DYNO SHEET. AND MORE LOW TO MID IS WHAT WE WANT...
Sold them as a set, they are a very good trye SP Sport 3000 my rears done 15,000klm and many Calder meets burnouts and still had 35% tread left...i couldn't belive how well they wear...
if i was to round it off to 25% somebody would come back & say that it's more like 20% so i just thought i would post the actuals & if anybody wants to round it off to what ever they are comfortable with then thats up to them
as for 25% being the maximum limit i am quiet sure that Battens Performance would have researched this as they have been working on this for a while but didnt want to release it until they were 100% happy with the product, i know this as i have been chasing a set from them for a while to evaluate & all i can say is the wait was worth it
25% puts a strain on your A/C etc, whoever some LS1 guys are running 25% underdriven and have no probs with A/C etc. your does sound like 25% underdriven which is fine, i wouldnt imagine going any higher. Which i dont think anyone would bother on a modern day car. dyno results would also show an improvement than OE Balancer. a 10% underdriven on a LS1 can make from 3-7rwkw (alledgedly)

Battens gave me 12rwkw from the bottom to the top end. The most noticable (seat of the pants feel) is the extra and more immediate response. There is a stronger pushed back in the seat feeling and the car gathers momentum much faster. Reading Barrys web page I think I'm gonna have to ring him and get the 80mil T/Body and Helix, its only 8.30 Sun Morn here, so I guess I better let him sleep a bit. If he has some in stock I'd like to get them fitted 2morrow before I go To Bris for the week. If that is the case there will be a one month old Herrod Helix spacer available to the first taker at $200. If anyones interested pm me. :bouncesmk :beer2:
