Default underdrive pulley question

I tried 2 searches and got nothing. With my mods and 1/4 mile time in sig. What do you think my gains would be with an undrive pulley? I figured this is one of my last mods I can do before I have to go spray or a cam. I am trying to get as close as I can do 11s without spray or H/C.

I've heard you usually gain around a tenth with one.

I know someone who has similar mods as yours only with a pulley more ran 11.93. Search for the name JETLAG.

I'm going with this route myself. Hopefully will able to squeeze this Z to 11s.

i think they are only worth about 7 to 10 hp. dont know exactly what that amounts to in the quarter. how about some weight reduction to go along with it?

It's best to do the pulley when you do the cam since it has to come off anyway.

Thanks for the input guys. Already did some weight reduction also. Spare tire and rear seats and belts are out of the car. I am going to take off the AC belt this Friday and see what happens. Then I think I will try the underdrive pulley.

Man just put it in and get it out of the way. I'm sure you'll pick up over a tenth maybe two.
