I didnt have the ASP ones, mine were powerbond, but assuming they are the same as they both are 25% pullies I think they are worth it. You probably wont seen a huge gain with them on a bolt-on setup but if you install a cam they are def a worthwhile mod. I see though that you are from Cali so if you are going to stay with bolt-ons that will keep you smog legal then I would say get the pullies. Unfortunately I had my powerbond pullies put on while my cam was being installed so I dont have any WOT feel on a bolt on setup.

Actually, I had a Powerbond, but it's still 25%.

Byunspeed was having a deal..on the pulley, new belts, and new bolt for $215 shipped..not sure if its still going on though.

Edit: I just noticed that had the alternator pulley also...mine was just the crank.

I wouldnt get the alternater pulley unless you have a big stereo amp or something cause that defeats the part of the purpose. Also the Summit brand is a powerbond I have heard and it's $60 less. I really doubt the 13hp claim (maybe 5or6) but it will make you rev quicker and many say is good for a tenth on the track. I have a March UD and it is very nice. Not sure about the gas mileage claim cause my H/C went in at the same time so my mileage took a hit from that
