if you want a tiny amount of throttle response and have a lot of time to waste, do it but it really isnt worth it. i would only do it if the motor was already tore apart when doing a cam or something

get.

its the people that do everything they can.

Even if something weighs 1 mg I drop it.

the pulley will be a hell of a lot lighter, and may drop your time a very tiny bit

you call if you want to spend the money on it.

but if you don't the next guy will

There is more to it than that. Sometimes you have to weigh the benifits Vs the negative to see if that last little bit is worth it. If having 3 more hp and 6lbs of tq equal issues with charging or whatever is it really worth it?

watch out for the cheap ones. I bought one, while I was in there I did a cam swap along with a NEW gmpp opti. the bolts that came with the pulley were slightly too long. it chewed right through my opti. I was furious.

I am on to getting the best one money can buy. no more cheap **** for me.
