Removing the belt

[snakebit]

I never dynoed my car before installing the coldside. If I simply remove the SC belt, can I get a reasonably accurate read as to the stock motor's peak output? Or are the MP62 manifold and BTB considerably stronger than the stock setup?

There's no harm in running without the SC belt, right? Just stays in bypass, PC Pro does nothing.

Yes you can do that. You will need to tie the bypass open as well.

Do you need to tie the bypass open when running with the belt off?
I tried to drive without the belt and did nothing to the bypass.
Seemed to work OK.

You don't "need" to but it cost a few HP not to.
