Don/et al,
...
Was it worth it? Heck yes! With the large pulley on her you get a great
acceleration from about 3K in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Passing on the
interstate in no problem, same with merging at speed. You can hear some
"whine"of the blower at idle, but nothing intrusive. With the small
pulley you get kick your a** scary acceleration. (Can you say chew up
and spit out MGs and Miatas) I am changing to a set of Hawk brake pads
to slow my butt down. If that doesn't do it, I may put the large
pulley back. The only other option is the $1K brake setup from Rimmer.
The VIS kit was $700 in 99.
The rebuilt carb with UVC needle was $236 from Curto in 99.
The blower was $1050 shipped from Magnuson as a "deal" to VIS in 99.
The SU blank and filter was $61.69 in 99.
The installation (because I was too chicken to do it myself) was $600
(and included the Falcon Headers install) by British Sportscar Works.
Hope this helps,
Joe
