I'd use the money for something else, it's $200
for 10hp. You could definitely save alittle more for a lot better performance part worth the money!

What are you talking about? $20 per hp is dirt fricking cheap! What other mods are cheaper for the money? Think about that in bigger terms: $2000 for 100 rwhp. That would be the cheapest best power making head/cam package ever made! Aside from a nitrous shot nothing gets much cheaper than that.. except an air-lid.. and a ported TB.. probably an air filter too... but thats it! Ok I'm done.

Yep, if its proven to be worth 10 or so crank hp than its a good bang for the buck. Think I'm gonna get one soon...

Make sure that you get an ASP pulley, the other brands seem to have some issues. I have an ASP and love it!
