I would suggest doing a search for your pulley question.

After you find out that the general consensus is that money is better spent elsewhere, come back here and apologize.


But you won't you. Why? You don't have the stones to admit when you're wrong and coming to a forum, asking a question and getting responses that you don't like shows signs of immaturity.

I DO know that FFDP is well respected here, ls1tech and HPT forums.

Don't like this response? Go **** yourself.

awww is somebody mad? Gotta stock up for your bf. It might not be worth it to y’all but it is to me. So how about somebody actually answer my question instead of getting sidetracked. If it only gives me 1 hp, I don’t care. I like the way it looks as well under my hood. My engine looks too bland and I need to make it stand out a little more.

I've got a new Powerbond underdrive for sale. I have the Trick flow and an overdriven alternator. Seems to work fine. Marginally better low end according to the butt dyno....ha. It's a helluvalot easier to pull off, though. Instead of the 3 jaw, you just use a steering wheel puller and a couple 5/16 bolts.

Lmao i went from my stock 16s with a 265/70r16 to a 305/40r20 and saw/felt no issues/loss in performance with bigger tires or bigger rims. Also have a set of D/R on my stocks 16s to apply to power to the ground but im making more power.

FFDP helped me through some stuff and is very respected on here. He is simply saying money is spent better else were. The 375-500 for a pull kit will gain 5-10 hp? Not worth the money spent. Unless you have already did basic bolt ons/cam/heads/intake and have money in your pocket burning a hole, look elsewhere for performance.

I mean Madmann does have a nice butt, so..


For now just let him do as he wants. It's wasted money if you ask 99% of us but hey we were all 19 once.

I’ve done everything to my truck the only other performance mods I can do would be to rebuild it with different internals or something crazy like that and I’m not gonna do that until this engine blows. To me the cost is worth it. I know it ain’t to y’all but to me it is. Somebody who’s done the install give me your opinions of the quality of pulleys you bought!

If you have your mind set up on pullys, i would just the harmonic balancer, and since you are going down that path, spend the time and money on doing a flywheel. together should give you maybe 5hp? I would save up for a 6.0 since all the newer trucks are getting faster and faster.
