It is a replacement for the stock crankshaft pulley. An aftermarket pulley will be lighter and slightly smaller that the stock pulley. The crank pulley drives your accessories such as the power steering, AC, and alternator. By going to a smaller, lighter pulley, less hp is drawn by these things from the engine. The pulley does not give you any hp, rather, it frees up hp. Check out : www.unorthodoxracing.com and look up the Ultra S product....

Almost forgot. What kinda of pulley would I get for my Maxima (97 SE)
I can't really find a price and the types of models each go for.
