Not much, you gain more with weight reduction and less the serpintine system has to work with.

Yep they did a dyno run somewhere and I dont remeber where it is. But they did pick up about 2 hp throughout the entire run w/o running the a/c and p/s. But fwiw the hp gain is not what you need to worry about, its the weight reduction and cleaner engine bay, IMO

well yeah it is hot as hell in here in the summer but tats only for like 2 months max. i dont really drive my car that much in the mid of summer, maybe few miles in the weekend, ive got my other DD

i thought the delete would have a decent performance gain but for a couple of HP i guess its not worth it,,,,, A/C has to go anyway i already got the delete pully but ill keep the PS for now

the only real gain to this like everyone is saying is the weight reduction. But dont catch the weight reduction bug, once you have it it is hard as hell to get rid of
