Everthing about Pulleys!!!

I think its my time to get some pulleys, so i have some questions for you guys...

- any problem with your dealer or with your warranty?
- do you feel more power?
- what do you guys know about Motorstorm pulleys? (its very cheap on GD for like $75)
- any problem with your car after that?

thanks...

u dont gain hp u just free up all the power that was required to turn the stock UD pulley
and from what i've seen and heard no one has had any problems

you gain horse power back that the stock pulley was robbing. people just like to argue that there are no gains because the engine itself is not making anymore power than before, your just getting some lost power back.

Yes you will see gains, it just doesnt help the engine make more power, you just get some lost power back. Make sense?

Yes, there is a gain. Your engine won't actually make more hp/tq, but you will use the engines' power more efficiently. I once read that for every pound you take off the crankshaft approx. 3 hp is gained.

For example:
Say an aftermarket setup is four lbs lighter than the factory setup, 12hp will be gained, at the crank that is.

Simply put, hp is not gained, it is simply freed up.

Happy Modding
