Default power pulleys

Hi, I wanted to know if pulleys makes a noticable difference or not. I'm considering putting a powerbond crank pulley and wanted to know if it's worth the time and money to do the swap. Do the pulley give any hp?

I would stay away. I don't think the 4-6 HP gains worth the $250+ or so price tag. You should focus on other mods like Lid, Cat-Back, longtubes, and Gears. You don't list your mods in your Sig, so I don't know what you already have done.

pullies are generally a nice little 10 extra hp when you do a cam swap.

The local shop has seen no less than 8 rwhp on any of the cars they have installed underdrive pulleys on. The money..all in all for 6-maybe 12 rwhp it's not that bad. As far as time...it's pretty simple and doesn't take long. You just need a hell of a torque wrench to install it.
