Default underdrive pulleys

are they worth the money? i was looking around at some and found a set that seems like a good deal if doing them is going to be worth my time and money.

Personally I think they're a waste of money. Some guys will try to tell you they did back to back runs before and after the pulley swap and gained 6-10RWHP. The reality is that this is more than likely due to the fact their engines cooled off while swapping pulleys or the inconsistency of the dyno itself.

The 3 piece set made a big seat of the pants difference in my 1995 V8 Dakota, as much as my MP R/T cam did, no kiddin.

I ran an ASP on my SS. I've seen 5-7rwhp gains and the main benefit is the motor revs up noticeably faster.

well i may try these...

this particular set is cheaper than summit's sets for our trucks.. however, the gator belts on summit are cheaper... 4 dollars cheaper on summit than that site and im thinking the $35 for the shorter a/c belt must be a typo bc on summit its over $20 different in price. So buy the belts from summit if you do this kit from troyer

How much are the asp's from someone other than summit or jegs?
