Hi all thanks for the comments ...Regarding will it go faster ....That will depend on the size of the small drive pulley at the moment the Large pulley has 72 teeth (the original has 68)  and the small one has 21 and the only way I could make it work is to fit a  410 belt and  turn the motor upside down to give more slack...(standard belt size is 400)  the speed is about 10 % faster . But I am waiting for a 18 toothed pulley and hope to have it made up soon and that will give me the same speed as the C5 should be ....
..I will keep you updated ...If you use the original 68 tooth pulley and a bigger drive pulley say a 25 tooth pulley it should increase the speed by about 10% ???.. But you would loose some torque ..
