Alex gets nothing for "Free" Each Video Takes hours of care, planning and work. Alex has done a terrific job with his channel and helped to educate the community. There is a reason why the 55k platform is advancing so quickly, and Alex is part of that.
Would you rather have no videos at all? Alex might be one of the most important members of this community.

My question to you is: IF the feedback coming from Alex is bad, how does that influence you as the business to get better?

There have been times where Alex's feedback has led to us improving instructions, including or changing components in kits, and making modifications to products to simplify or improve them for the customer. His feedback has been very helpful on multiple occasions. Alex tells it like it is.

I tend to find those that talk the most usually have the least. It's the way of the internet.

Other cars don't use clutches. For that reason there is much smoother power delivery. Other cars don't seem to have steady state cruise IAT issues.

Try and imagine someone who expects respect for lucky investment over people who find success through hard work and commitment.
I know which one I'd rather be.
Assuming he's even telling the truth, I can't cringe hard enough at how much he must ooze that "new money" vibe. Now try and imagine the people who choose to be around that type of person.

The "fixed pulley" really isn't anything to be weary of. Many moons ago, I used to drive a mustang with a 15lb vortech s-trim everyday. In the years there weren't intercoolers.. you just ran the thing, with a silly "calibrated" FMU. lol Complete dinosaur stuff to what is had today. If you were just cruising... it's not really building boost or heat.

Clutch
There seems to be some confusion about the clutch...
Due to the continuous tightening covenant of the European fuel economy rules, AMG had to find alternative ways to reduce fuel consumption and do so in the face of stricter emissions rules. https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwin.../#67e034e6134a
During idle, the SC becomes slightly HP parasitic and therefore lowering fuel economy. That's it...
Sans clutch is the way to IMHO...
Yes, any pulley RPM increase whilst at idle will cause a harsher engagement.
Another good argument to trash the clutch... I did years ago...
Also, Trolls... Don't feed them. From www101...

"So when going to a smaller pulley like a 74mm or 72mm is there a more abrupt clutch engagement when the supercharger kicks in?"

I agree 100%. They are screwing up the thread.

I keep the clutch due to the fact of the racing I do....would rather not have it but...…... Want everything nice and cool while waiting to make my run. Also the ice tanks sit ide with pumps off until go time.

Just installed fixed last week, freeways fuel consumption seems about the same as having clutched but city mileage sucks! 10-13 mpg in city where 21 mpg on a 20 mile roundtrip on freeway. One reason I switched to fixed is cause my clutched took a dump on me last week as well after nearly a year of usage.
