They will ship out by the end of the week (I hope).. It is a short week here in Canada because yesterday (Monday) was Canada Day.
I am waiting for the boxes to arrive to pack the kits in... Also, trying to find a way to to provide some sort of instructions with the kit so that the installers will know what to do with each bit.
Rocket's car will be a good test.. He is putting on the Extreme Wrap kit. He's running a few Renntech upgrades and has what looks to be serious belt slip.. His AFR falls flat at 5,000RPM and he is only trapping 117mph while other guys with similar mods are trapping 125mph.

Any updates?

Frank,
Looking forward to your feedback once you receive the Pythons and the beltwrap kit.
I know one thing you guys are gonna hate me for ... Your car is going to burn alot more fuel with the belt wrap kit installed... I suspect some MPG ratings to change... LOL..

hahaha.. no comment.. 
As for the coloured pullies.. On the next run (which we will start soon since there is only 1 kit left) I want to do half in VRP Red.. and half in natural aluminum..
All I know is: I am not responsible for either of those things!! You guys have to cover tire & fuel costs...

Do you think it will burn more fuel or suck in more air. My A/F ratio practically falls off the chart above 5500rpm because it gets so rich. I suspect this is due to the belt slipping, and the car sucking in less air relative to the fuel intake. I am hoping that this wrap kit willl prevent slippage and cause the A/F to stay constant.. Is my thinking here correct?

Michael... LOL.. I have extra everythings.....
Do you want to just buy it outright and keep yours as spares? Or do you want to send yours back to me? The shipping back and forth is gonna kill.
I did a set for Vader.. It is $495USD for the 2 stage coating (Ceramic heat coating base w/Candy Apple red top layer). But, I will have to ship back & forth to him and then ship to you. I wont be able to give you a firm price on shipping, but I would guess $30 - $40 each way.
If you decide you want to buy them outright, add $400USD.. So that would be $895USD + shipping and then tell Adam to buy your cores and he can offer it as a service to other customers... LOL..

Hahaha.. Ok.. Just remember.. I am saving this post in case you forget..
All kidding aside.. I am not sure which way it will go.. With the belt slipping and the car always running pig rich your fuel economy gets to be pretty bad (most cars will have pretty serious black exhaust tips).
When the car starts grippping the belt better and making more boost, it should burn more fuel but out of the 2 scenarios I am not sure which will end up consuming more...
Hey.. Maybe you'll get more boost, AND BETTER fuel economy... Wouldn't that be a nice benefit!! I should be able to get this kit EPA Certified because it will be reducing harmful emissions.. LOL..
