I have an ASP and like it. It's not just the pulley but the combination of mods you do to your car, ie, lid, bellows, filter, pulley, 160 thermostat, etc. It all adds up.

pullies are supposed to contribute in more than just the power area. supposedly they let it rev a little quicker and by slowing down accesories, relieve stress on the front drive. not sure how noticeable the latter two can be, but H/C cars have seen 8-9rwhp from just a pulley. mines sitting in my closet, so ill let you know when i get a chance to get it on

I think it should be one of the last mods you do. Like has been said above all the mods work together and for the price of a pulley there is other things I would do first.

I'm not gonna mess with getting one until I get a cam swapped in. Otherwise seems like too much trouble if you were only doing a pulley swap. But during a cam swap it's kind of like while you're in there, swap the pulley if you can swing the extra $250 or so for it.
