Air Pump Eliminator Question
Im thinking about an elimnator when I put my new cam and headers on, just wondering if it is worth the money and will it cause codes, if it will cause codes can something be done to correct it. TIA :cheers:

I just drove up to Breathless and bought and installed one today. The thing is actually plastic (the black one) but it does fit in real nice and cleans up the engine, must be worth a HP or two at least, that AIR pump was heavy and hard to turn! The people there are real nice, the shop is awesome, and the race cars are unbelievable!!!!

You were only referring to the pulley right? I thought the arm was aluminum.

Only the pulley is plastic. Is only good for 1 or 2 hp. Cleans up engine bay alot (it's biggest attribute).

The Black one (bracket)seems to be some kind of composite material, doesnt seem like metal to me.
