Randy Webb on pulley parties:
"There are many MINI enthusiasts around the country - in fact, there are more enthusiastic regions than there are MINI shops. Because of how familiar we are with the MINI, we had been asked by several regions to come to do installs. Being that we care so much about customer support, and we like to spread cheer and joy, we decided to take on the task of helping as many MINI owners as were interested.
The "pulley" is the supercharger pulley, and it is reduced by 15% in diameter. That, in turn, spins the supercharger faster, making more boost sooner and throughout the RPM range. How much of a reduction was thoroughly researched, including desert endurance testing, extensive track testing, street driving of over 15,000 miles, and technical discussions with several engineers.
We have now done over 185 cars, most of them during the pulley parties. Several owners gather at a central location during a weekend and get to chat with other MINI folk, see other cars, bench race, and leave with a car that makes an average of 15 horsepower more than when they showed up."
The great thing about this event is it is local and at a performance shop (Yarrowsport). Yarrow is currently working on MINIs and is very interested in them as a performance auto. At most pulley parties you are limited on the installs that can be done but not this time. The sky is the limit! Exhausts, Pulley, intakes, chips, headers, swaybars, throtle body, ect...
Yarrow does have a Dyno available for use. The cost of 3 runs is $65.00 and $50.00 if more than ten cars get on the dyno. All are welcome to come and hang out.
