Do you have the graph handy? What did the area under curve look like after the swap? Pulley's aren't dyno queen mods, they free up midrange power.
M6 ASP pulley was 1.8 pounds lighter then my friends powerbond on a digital scale. Summit sells one just like the powerbond for only $150 i have installed on a few cars its a nice pulley.

It's the 6-10hp that adds up that makes the difference between two different cars with the same heads and cam but are 30-40hp apart. Factor in UD pulley, better merge collectors, better ypipe merge or cutout, ported throttle body, better intake lid, stock vs. correct length pushrods, stock vs. aftermarket rockers and before you know it, you're putting up a post on tech asking why your X-brand heads with Y-cam put down 30 hp less than the last person who posted.

yep the guys gotta remember that a few bolt ons here and a a few there will all add up....... and i have seen over 10rwhp from a powerbond too so every car and dyno is different and who knows if some of these guys are correcting the numbers..... 6 rwhp might actually be a realistic gain from a simple pully change.......

Thumbs up

I think that's a great gain for the money.

Congrats! And thank you for the info as I too have installed this pulley on my car.

I picked up almost 2 mph at the track with only change being the powerbond pulley. went from a best of 116.9 to a best off 119.2 Definitely worth it in my book.

Good Luck
the stock pulley is lighter on the z06 or are you saying the ASP Camaro pulley is heavier than the ASP Z06 Pulley getting ready to order a boat load of parts from you guys TFS 215's, VRX5, Yella Terra ultralites, Pulley, ARPs etc you get the point

It all adds up. I would like to run an UD pully when I do my H/C. But I'm afraid here in tampa, it really gets hot and humid.

so the Powerbond and SLP pulley are one in the same...?

im looking into getting both an U/D pulley and EWP for the car. im really trying to max out my little 224 cam before a 9" w/4.10's skew the #'s...

if i gained as much w/just an U/D pulley like the OP did, i would be pleased. esp., the RWTQ...

Nice gains IMO, you couldn't expect any better than that! Definetly worth the couple hundred, try the ATI pulley if you don't think its worth it, LOL More money and less gains but can't beat it as for the best balancer with a race setup.
