I've got a weird feeling in my clutch pedal that wasn't there before but I don't know if its the pulleys or a line resting on the frame or something else. The steering wheel is maybe 1% harder to turn in a parking lot but is still easily spinable with one finger.

I'm looking forward to getting some miles on it this weekend. This old work truck sucks haha

Did you end up replacing that front seal jnaut listed as optional? I can't find a part number for that one to order it - I've got everything else.

Let me know how it goes as you drive it more - I think rather than thrown down the money for the Quaife lsd - I'll see how it does on the stock vlsd and use that money on the pulleys for now.

I was thinking pulleys added some "knocks" - but I think I as confusing it with the aftermarket flywheels.

No knocks.

I'm on the factory LSD and its hooking quite well. I don't track the car. Just beat on it on the streets and through some backroads.

No need for cams -- the factory cams are fully adjustable.

Well, once VVEL can be tuned that is...

Based on the results of valve timing tuning I've done in the past, I expect a pretty nice bump in N/A power from this when it can be done.
