Default Searched but no luck!!! 1/4 gains with Underdrive Pulley

Ive heard .1 to .2 but nothing concrete about that! Some say a noticable SOTP feeling and some say nothing. I went to the track 2/9/08 and with 228R, LT's, 3800 stall, P&P throttle body, LS1 intake, Tru-trac, 4.11's and 28" ET Streets i went 12.90 @ 101.75 with a 1.78 60'!!!! With the heavy *** 20's (75-85#) up front worth probably another .1 if i went to a stock wheel tire combo. now ive added (yesterday) a ls6 intake and i noticed a nice gain in the entire RPM range worth .2 or so!!!! Im asking would i notice the same gain with the pulley? maybe between intake and pulley and tire/wheel up front .4 - .5 gain!

well as a look more into it, it seems to help more with the more mods you have. So this would be my last bolt on according to bolt-ons besides elec. water pump!!!

technically they bolt right on i would wait until you have enough money to do it all at once. swapping heads is a PITA.
