A dyno will most definitely measure an engine "spinning up" faster.

72 sub you shouldn't speak about things you don't know.

Most pulleys don't show up on a dyno, some people get a couple hp at most.

I think this is because a dyno in 1:1 gear spins the motor much slower.

I bet you'd see better gains in 1-2-3 gears.

But the pulley proves its worth on the track. Always 1 mph faster on a consistent car.

I'm going to order the new SLP pulley soon.
It has been recently re-engineered, and looks lighter and better than the ASP model.

Hold on there Z98. I said nothing about a pulley's worth on the dyno. I simply stated that a change in the rate at which an engine changes RPM will indeed show up on the dyno. I was just correcting the notion expressed by SidewayzOZ that a dyno doesn't reflect an engine spinning up faster and thereby fulfilling an impulse I had to be an arrogant bastard as I'm a stickler (*******) for details.

Rock on. On a consistent car, you generaly see gains of a tenth and one mph, which would reflect a relative gain of about 10hp.

The weight of the pulley has super minimal effect on the crank because the mass is in centrifugal motion.
The march with it's fluid dampening characteristic does what it is designed to do and controls the harmonics of the modded engine.
Harmonic control has to be done at both ends of the motor and that requires a well balanced flywheel/flexplate.
All pulleys with the same underdrive ratio, ie 25% will produce the same gain.
March will also not set false KR which has been plaguing ASP's to the point that they had to redesign it.
If you choose an ASP make sure you get the latest version.
Personally I'm going with March with H/C swap.

I don't know where you found one for frigging $360. Christ, what is their profit margin? I got my March, with alt pulley, with a/c&ps&wp belt for ~$209. You give me $300 even and I will make sure you get your March with no problems, and I will mail you pictures of the ******* on which I spend the remainder of the money. I'm apparently doing you a big favor here.

I helped Stalker WS6 install his March a couple of weeks ago. Very nice piece & with it being a fluid dampner as stated above it won't cause KR. We also installed it with the dampner installation tool that they sell in the tool section. Very good working tool, simple and it did it's job nicely.
