I wanted the Unorthodox pulley for the fact it is a underdrive pulley If the question is now how it can drive accesories slower, think back to your bicycle the lower gears are the larger sprockets in back and the smaller in front. That why you pedal like hell, and go slow. I wanted to slow down my accessories to reduce parasitic loss. I have done this on many engines for what amounts to free horsepower. My problem involves the fact we do not have pulleys that are independent of the damper. After research on whether I will have problems with bearings, and my crank will I have the answer to my question. As it looks now I should have no major problems. Many four cylinder engines use a non dampened pulley. It would however appear that the flywheel mass does have a relationship to the front pulley/ and or hub mass in torsional harmonics. Since I have a lightened fly wheel I should be ok with my unorthodox pulley. I thank everone for your input. twomuchmoparjunk 88 Quest 87 Starion 70 Satellite 69 Cuda 440 59 Biscayne 170" front engine dragster and many more

Before I get my pickup wheel for my Tec III mounted on a pulley I have questions. I contacted EIP for my parts, and they say I could have bearing, and crank problems if I use a Unorthodox pulley. EIP uses a standard dampened pulley on their Tec setups. I know the Caravan used a undampened pulley, and bearing problems were not a real issue. I had my engine balanced with the Unorthodox pulley, but I have to think EIP has some expirence with this. Has anyone seen crank, and bearing problems from the Unorthodox pulley? I would like some input before I commit either way Thanks twomuchmoparjunk 88 Quest 87 Starion 69 Cuda 440 68 Super Bee 64 Polara Rag Top And many more

Hey Tim, No the Biscayne is not a ProMod. The Biscayne is a "Rat Rod" She's a primer black Lowered (hot rod style) driver.

This may sound crazy, but this is what .050 is about. This comes from the 50's and roller cams and V8's. .050 is the point when the lobe lift reaches the center on a roller lifter, and begins actual effective lift. This began the almost universal use of the .050 number by racers. On a flat tappet V8 cam the number is different but the .050 has other uses. This number is also a effective number when figuring lobe centers, as a number on both sides of a lobe. When degreeing a cam it is easy to use the figure to corrolate lift to crank position, or cam timing. The total duration numbers have to do with the just the cam itself. The actual duration is with the number of degrees of effective lift. The numbers vary do to lifter, or follower design, and size. This may be a little confusing but this is why the .050 duration numbers do not add up by simply adding it back into gross duration. Duration on a Turbo, or Supercharged car are just as effective as a naturaly aspirated car, but overlap is the critical issue. Obiviously the longer both valves are open the more boost you send out the exhaust. This is why people are not getting the results they expected from that "big cam", and the smaller one runs better. Schnieder will grind your cam with the Turbo in mind and it will make a difference from the "off the shelf" one. All this may make sense to some that's all I can ask. twomuchmoparjunk 88 Quest, 87 Starion 91 Spirit R/T 70 Satellite 64 Polara Convertible 59 Chevy Biscayne (watch the Honda guys when they hear this 7500 rpm suprise) And many more
