hey for the black belt, do we use the new tensioner arm or the old one?

The black belt requires the use of the new, longer tensioner arm and the larger idler pulley... I tried cutting every other tooth off one of my black belts and really didn't like the feel of it... I'd say stick with all the teeth...
at least for the time being

Not sure I follow...Why wouldn't I want ceramic diff balls for low traction surfaces; or, are you talking about switching out to a one-way for that situation?
Do you also use ceramic balls for the thrust bearings?
Adding "weights on spur gear"!?! What's that about?

hey XXX-Bill,
Did you get your Black Springs?
I left them on your table but forgot to ask you if you got them.
Thanks again for the borrow.

I guess it doesnt matter so much for stock as it does for mod, but it's much easier to drive a car with more rotating mass when there is less grip on track, because you are less likely to get wheelspin.
