I was wondering if making my belt shorter by removing from the power steering and maybe removing the ac belt when going to the drags will it help me just wondering has anyone tried?

Meh, if it does, you won't notice it. The Whipple makes enough power off idle to over compensate for running the accessories. If anything, reduce the size of the S/C's main pulley. Smaller pulley = more boost!

I cant put a smaller pulley on the whipple im looking for a bigger crank pulley for my truck to try to get more boost. so just looking to try to see if the truck runs little lighter without the extra pulleys.

it should help,less drag
If you are familiar with the short belt mod it involves bypassing some of the accessories. Specifically the alternator. I have seen dyno results that netted around 10/10 rwhp/rwtq from doing it. Most people usually drop about .1 of a second in the 1/4 as well.
It was real popular to do about 3-4 years ago and has since died out.
sounds like fun for a .1th...especially on a hot motor..
LOL, I agree. I personally have never done it. There's a reason it has become less popular over the years.Originally Posted by DBRODS

AC won't drag it down noticeably as long as it's offand the track guys will yell at you for AC water anyway. The P/S pump might show a difference at high RPM on an engine dyno but doesn't seem worth the hassle to me.
