when you install the pulley the proper way is to torque it to 37ftlb then rotate 140 degrees. torque angle gauge is the proper way to measure it. most people just tighten the bolt as tight as they can

Futral 218/228 .564"/.577" 116LSA Cam - TRT did it throughout the day. They were pretty busy with some other customers and on top of that had just moved, so they're still getting things in order.

Yeah, I knew I would see gains, but I didn't think I'd see as much as I did. I can't WAIT to get it tuned and see what it does!

No stall yet...gotta let the dust settle from the expense for this first...

Hard to tell on the low end yet because it keeps wanting to stall when I'm idling. It absolutely screams in mid-range though.
