Default 25% Powerbond pulley dyno

Same dyno, same day, same weather, same everything.

Pulls made before and after, the only change was the pulley and new belts and bolt.


6rwhp, 10trq

Not really worth the money it goes, but at least it did something! I'm sure it would help out a car more if it had more mods. But as you can see the mods in my signature.. I don't have many.

It's worth the money if you were at 394rwhp before that.

Thats actually pretty good. Most ASP's only show 3-5 on the dyno.

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.

Good results. I have the same pulley but i added it with an ls6 intake and a cam so i didn't feel the individual gain.

I think the pulley is worth the money with your results

nice results, this is actually the same pulley as the SLP. I have seen people gain anywhere from 3-12rwhp.

It should do a couple things for ya bro.

1. improve gas mileage a bit, and even more with an EWP.
2. it should extend the life of your accessories by spinning them a bit slower
3. better revving, less parasitic loss.

Good gains too. I don't think I picked up that much, more like 3rwhp 5rwtq.

Camaro pulley is heavier than a Corvette Z06 style. When we tested this years ago our data showed 7 RWHP on a Camaro. Worth it IMO

Good Luck

I went a step further an not only installed a pulley, but also an aluminum flywheel. Talk about a difference in midrange and top end.
