i'm glad no1 had any major problems with this, now i can buy and install this thing in peace. I guess the bird chirping noise might be the only thing to worry about.

Got Mine In Today, Just Finished It, Went On A Test Run, The Switching Between Gears Feels Sooooo Much Better And The Idile Is Better Too.

Care to elaborate?

Show Stoppa FG1 · 05-14-2008, 01:49 AM

like before when the motor was switching through gears there was like a slight delay, and u could tell the car shifted, now it just like rolls over to the next gear, u know how after u been pushing it and when u stop at a light, the rpms go way low and the car feels like its bout to stall? well not n e more, it stays there at w/e the rpm is at i think mine idols at like 745 or so, ill have to look at my scan guage again, but it does dip low n e more. the rpms jump high when u step on it. i like it, i hope i continue to like it

Is the best way to go getting the 3 piece kit or just the underdrive crank pulley? I'm looking for performance and not really a huge stereo system but do the pulleys work best with all three?

Show Stoppa FG1 · 05-16-2008, 03:21 AM

picture it this way, the more u can free up, the better the result. the crank is the most important. but i say do all 3

I've had these pulley's on for quite a while now and I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever. I say go for it dude, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Just make sure you search the forums on how I got these installed if you do plan on getting them. Their a ***** to install.

What belt are you running, the 6 rib or the 7 rib?

I would get the kit man... If you only get the crank pulley... your alternator will put out 15% less current than it did before. That would put you at 15% less alternator power than stock... BAD IDEA!!!( headlights dimming, etc ) If you get the kit...your electrical system will put out exactly the same, or a little more as it did stock and you will have no problems...

Damn, just now getting to this.

Honestly Im not sure but it was the only one that is available. It is the thinner one so Im assuming it's the 6 rib.

Murderjetz · 06-03-2008, 11:54 AM

Are these not available in blue?

The ones in the pictures are blue...

mO 64 StAnG 06 · 06-03-2008, 08:56 PM

I think they used to be but now all they have is grey and red.

Entarl · 06-14-2008, 03:14 PM

does this kit lessen the life of the components like the wp or alt? or put more stress on the engine?

mO 64 StAnG 06 · 06-14-2008, 06:43 PM

I don't think so. If anything it's better for the engine since it's putting less stress on the engine being light weight. But that's just what I think.

Entarl · 06-14-2008, 08:22 PM

Show Stoppa FG1 · 06-15-2008, 12:36 PM
