It DOESNT ADD horsepower.....only frees up power wasted on turing heavy crap!!! IT DOES WORK........saying it does nothing is a LIE! Anytime you take weight off a car you do "something" to enhance performance.

Don't they say that every 100 lbs removed is at least a 10th of a second in the 1/4? Also heard every 1lb of removed rotational mass is equal to 10 static lbs being removed. I could be wrong.

I heard that about 100lbs too...I thought it was every 1 lb rotational reduced was like reducing 8lbs static weight.....I dont know...whatever...its going to make your horsepower to weight ratio better and your car will perform better. Thats why you see these Civic hatchbacks with 230hp doing like 11 & 12 sec 1/4 mi times because they weigh like 1800lbs. gutted all out. thats why we always trash Mustangs....because they TANKS...they have high horsepower but they HEAVY as hell...like 4000lbs.

You gonna spend all that money on loosing 6-7 pounds ?
go to the park and run around or some **** and take a big dump before you go to the track
that pulley didn't do anything but look shiny when i turned my wheel in all the way to the right and just so i oculd say i had one
and tear down my belts faster and squeak like im ****ing pro charged or something
and thats the point where i took it off and threw it in my garage somewhere
and who ever wants to have this amazing mod i have mine i'll sell for $50 lemme know

Pretty much. One of those things to say, oya, I have one. Add to the mod list, etc.
My car sees 7100 a lot, and this thing has been on forever. Also, VQ's have an internal harmonic balancer so yeah, the pulley doesn't act like one. Although I agree, you might want to stick with the reputable ones, i.e. do some research on here and in the 4th gen forum.
I do recall a few horror stories (seriously between 2 & 3 in my time on this forum) where the pulley failed and catastrophically damaged the engine.
I wouldn't sweat it though.
And just to clarify, with the racial remark, SteveB is being sarcastic, he knows better.

Poorly designed pulleys can have severe side effects because of too much underdrive of the alternator, power steering, and/or air conditioning units, which are not spinning fast enough. (Too much underdrive for a race car is not much of a concern, but for a daily driven vehicle it can be a major annoyance.)
Changing the original crankshaft pulley can have negative effects if the replacement pulley is not manufactured properly. A crankshaft or accessory pulley that is not machined or balanced properly can cause severe damage.

Buyer beware. good luck with the install.

I decided to go with the Stillen Underdrive pulley...they have the shorter belt set also that I bought.....I spoke with some members here about the underdrive and they all have no problems.....it just arrived today...going to install it next week. I'll let you know....how it goes!!!

Yeah...I can't wait!!! Stillen also says that after the first couple hundred miles after the install you need to get the belts re-tightened down. Maybe that's why people had problems....they never went to get their belts re-tightened after awhile and they got loose....
