it like melted the belt and smelled like burning tires
it was crazy
but i was wondering if this will hurt anything
cuz i heard that by taking it off it frees up some ponies but also i causes the cat to become clogged
is this true?
thanks

 

nah...most people just remove it completely. Check if it's siezed or something to melt the belt like that.

 

yah i think it did

 

Taking it off (i.e., not running it) will not free up any quantifiable power. I know this because I kept track of my times both with and without it.

I also know that if left on the car without the belt, it will freeze up the pump. That could be a function of the condition of the check valves, though.

Taking it completely off the car will free up a few pounds of weight. Again, not quantifiable at the track.

 

well i didnt take the belt off of it i was always afraid that if i took it off it would clog my cat or something(someone told me it would)

so i dont know how it froze up cuz i drive it all the time

oh well i dont really care
i just wanted to know if it will harm anything

thanks!
