If I'm only running the stock pulley, is it necessary to pin the crank pulley.

A pinned crank pulley might void a 100k mile warranty.

Yes. The crank isnt keyed so you could damage the end of the crank if the pulley slipped. I have seen blown cars shear the key off the crank, so yes I would pin it.

Your 100K warranty is in question with the maggie alone. Yes pin the crank. It can take up to 60hp to drive the maggie in the stock setup with the 3.3" pulley.

Nothing personal, but if you are worried about your warranty.....stop now.

I'm not offended. I've tried to stop, but it's too addicting.

I told myself 6 months ago when I bought the car that I would leave this one alone so I could have a nice worry free daily driver. I lasted for a few months before I dabbled with some of the recreational paraphernalia. First the CAI, then headers, then wheels.

But you are to blame for my complete relapse. Quit making products that make so much power! I do not have the will power to resist the thought of having 500hp at my command. :wacko:
