It is like yimmy says, cruising at 3,000rpm is annoying, but anywhere else in the rev range is not hugely different to the stock mount. It does not make the car shake, it is nothing like Cup Car...

It is your engine oil level check. Think electronic dipstick. The timer has nothing to do with when you can start the car again, it is the next time that an accurate oil level can be measured.

I believe the pulley is a good mod, I am yet to do it but it is going to happen the next time I replace the serpentine belt.

The price is not even...
