So where do I get these pulleys for the R/T? And what are the part numbers?
Do they simply replace the stock ones, including AC?

I gained approx 1.5-2.5 mph in the trap speed (88.9 was before, then did a
92.5 after)
Figure they are worth 1-2 10ths. at best. Need another trip to the track
to get a good
feel for it (ran them first at 55 F., then 64 F this past Saturday, and will
need one more
run to get a good average.)
