Few Questions

Alright,

1) I just ordered a double belt alternator pulley so I could under drive it a little and take off the air pump, is it possible to powder coat this and if so who do I contact on here?

2) Pillar Pods, does anyone make a pillar pod set for us? I don't want to fiberglass anything because I haven't ever done that before.

I powdercoated mine, the grooves tend to melt under heat/friction. I've heard rumors the 2nd gen pillar pod fits, with some tweaking fom a heat gun.

Dual belt pulleys are a waste of time. It's all about the 3L220.

What's a 3L220? I heard to use the double belts to prevent the water pump from going out at high speeds and prevent belt slipping (which is what mine does right now).
