Nice thing about it is that it weighs exactly what the stock balancer does, 10lbs

What does the new pulley run? I was thinking hard about getting a ASP made back when I still had mine.

Moregrip... I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I hate you, but only b/c you have cooler stuff than me and I'm just a petty person

MJ said it earlier, your taking the Radix to the limit and beyond. Keep up the great work.

A plastic retainer in the snout kept breaking on mine at those speeds. They wouldn't last a week in mine, good luck

Very cool trick parts and good ideas Grippy. Are these one-off parts or are they available? They gotta look great with the Metco's. What belt will you use? Will this 8 rib belt make the system increase the resistance to belt slippage and consequently make it even more important to pin the pulley?

Zippy & I will be putting either a 2.8 or 3.0 pulley on my Radix and then doing the Alky Control meth kit to keep the temps down.

What's the backside of that pulley look like?
Is it a two peice screwed together? The reason I ask is all the screws in the face.
Looks like more power for you, which will mean you will need even....... MoreGrip!! Haha get it...hahaha.
