    Since im short on time, ebay is not an option. I guess I have to find a gracious local mini owner that is willing to lend the 36mm oil filter wrench.

    Ok, I spoke to Jan last night and we are good to go. He will be bringing in the plugs for those needing them and one of the Cobb/Alta AP, but I can't recall who wanted it.

    Also, I need to inform that Jan can also bring in some larger injectors for anybody needing them. I believe he has Siemens 450 injectors for $325. I think these are good for about up to 260whp.

    So, if you need some 450s or even something larger, let me know so Jan can bring them in for you.

    1. Yes, I have read that the Napa belt is a little tighter than the Gates.
    2. I would expect either of them to be a very tight fit with the JCW pulley since it is ~11.45% reduced, as opposed to the 15, 16, 17%.... pullies. BTW, when I replaced my JCW pulley with the 15% it made a difference.

    well some reason I couldn't get the napa belt to fit.. if I had the correct tool, maybe I could have raised the tensioner a little more, none the less I have a new belt and thats all that matters for the moment. =D

    see, im a little skeptical on removing all the JCW goodies =( I'm going to see what this tune leaves me at. If i'm still looking for something, wider tires and probably new wheels are top on the list.

    jcw's bigger pulley

    I'm thinking the napa belt didn't fit because of jcw's bigger pulley, but at least you got it done without the tool. :Thumbsup:

    See you guys on Saturday!:D

    Terry: Thank you for putting the dyno days together. Well worth the drive from Oklahoma.

    Jan: Thank you for the time and tune! Next mod- down pipe.

    Thanks to everyone at Classic Jaguar for use of their dyno and facilities.

    It was great to meet everyone but I failed to ask what their screen names were here on M/A. Please post your first name and screen name so I can put a face with your M/A screen name.

    Thanks again everyone!

    Now to correct my car's issues. I'm glade that these were brought to my attention before it could have been an expensive venture.
