Hey, its all good. I love it when people get together and create stuff.

I must admit that the titanium fangs on the VX are sweet. I wish more stuff was made of titanium. It is one of my favorite metals.

Cheers,

I figured I better download that software and mess around with it before I really need it. That stuff is fantastic! With some practice ya can design literally anything, no matter how complex.

I designed a 3" steel cube with .5" holes thru the center from all sides with some rounded edges and lettering machined .5" deep, in a short time.

This is part of the workspace with a front view of the finished design-


This is a small video of the 3D view of the cube in a few different modes. It's very smooth, full screen, and higher quality when you're actually using the software.

Great stuff! Give it a try.

cool, im planning to download it soon to create a flat bezel to take the place of the fuzzy hole, i figure that will free up some ideas of new switches or whatever else there

I actually have several designs I've been working on. Just been blowing my money for the portotypes on other things... You just might see some of the stuff on vxlounge sooner or later... stay tuned! =P

Any of you S/C'd folks wanna bigger crank pulley?...

I'm not SC'd, but I'd love to have someone looking Power Pulley sets like they use on Tuner cars. Lightweight and possibly underdriven. Just the weight reduction of the crank pulley gives loads of extra HP!

Yah...

I was thinkin' one of the smarter kids could design a piggyback center hub with interchangable pulleys for changing boost on S/C'd applications...

Sounds like an ad in the back of some sleezey magazine!




And before you ask....I was just reading the articles!

It does work to a point at the OEM settings/Factory parts. I went with a smaller pulley on the supercharger on my Pontiac SSEi and it did help some. And at a Hotrod point my Pro-street 66 Chevy II w/BBC L88 with a BDS 671 Supercharger, between my buddy who had the same charger on a SBC we could switch our pulleys around and have combo's of 13%, 6% under-driven. 1to1. and 6%, 13% over driven. I had my mainly at 6% under and it ran cool and no detention, But at 6% and 13% over it had detention more and ran 10 to 20 degrees hotter. I did cure some of that with a MSD 6AL and a different degreed Comp Cam and re-jetted my Dual Holley 780 carbs.

Mostly I'd like a shiny cool billet crank pulley, but yeah, another lb of boost wouldn't hurt my feelings none either...
