Default pulleys worth it?

how much HP have people gained and about how much in the 1/4? I think they are going to be my next mod.

I would say they are definately worth it. Dont have any dyno results but it is one of the best SOTP mods I have done. i will have to look back at some time slips to see how much the knocked off in the 1/4. The really help down low and they seem to let the motor wind up faster now.

I was wondering about this also... 14rwhp seems like a lot from a pulley. Did anyone else dyno with these?

anybody notice any cooling problems with the pulleys. i mechanic said it would cause a problem and might over heat, but i dont know if he knows what he is talking about.

Have not gone to the dyno since the pulleys, but it is a very noticable SOTP mod. Also, if you are not having traction problems, you will very soon. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
No cooling problems to speak of, just a bitch to install and like mentioned above, get the right alt. pulley.

Good Luck

Then it sounds like you will be spinning through 3.080 60ft's like me. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> It is a great mod, and really helps in the street racing, but practice makes perfect at the track. I think it's possible to hook up at the track, I just haven't done it yet. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />
