I'm pretty sure the only "correct" pulley is an aftermarket one, like ATI damper or 949 one. I feel like pulley shearing with stock damper is inevitable at high hp - much like manifolds cracking.
Torque output is not smooth, it's pulsed. It's like a 300 ft/lbs impact drill...

Thats because someone is probably going to distract me and tell me I should play video games instead.
Depends on the type of dirty.
I will take a picture of how horribly dirty my trunk is when I get home.

I spent all day cleaning my car. Washed her, then clay bar, then polish, and finished with waxing. It was a decent job and looks ok from 10 feet away. I don't ever think she can get clean enough to look good up close.
Tomorrow I button up a few things in the interior and then I start her up, check for leaks, break in the motor.

Did you feel the **** coming off when you clayed it? Makes a HUGE difference.

This was after the first wash.

This is how it looks at the end. There are still a ton of swirls and such, but I know there is no way I am going to get them all out myself.
