i got that pulley and could deff notice the car pull especially closer towards the red line. i dont have any numbers at the track but id say its worth it unless your gonna turbo or sc it.

there is a myth that it causes low charging from the alternator, but I don't recall anyone on this site having trouble with it...mine certainly didn't change
it is a very minor mod, .1 or less in ET but you should notice the car rev slightly quicker...won't feel the difference
like I said, do it during the cam swap and buy it used for $120 or less or don't worry about it IMO

Worth about another 8 HP to the ground. Shouldn't have any problems w/ electrical unless you have a big stereo system. You can always put an overdrive alternator pulley on it to stop that. Also, if you have a cam in the car the idle will be raised so you won't have a problem either. I would do it.

im w jon at texas speed. the 8 hp was noticeable, it revd quicker and pulled a little bit harder. it may not be like throwing a set of gears or long tubes but its all in what your wanting to get out of your car.

Nobody is going to feel a 8 hp difference. I think these are a waste but like someone else said, if you're doing a cam swap or engine build and can find one for cheap, it won't hurt to put one on. Otherwise I wouldn't waste my money on it.
