I have the pulleys, didn't really notice too much, I'm only using the alternator pulley in the kit as I have no power steering anymore. IMO your money would be better spent else where.

If anything get an underdrive crank pulley. PS and alt. pulleys don't do much.

All I know is, you don't really notice teh gains at all, and my friend went through a ton of batteries between those and subs.

yea, but don't they give you like small gains all the way throughout the power band which makes them worth it?

I have them and engine seemed a bit more responsive after instalation. Might all be in my head though. And for the guy who kept toasting batteries, somethin else is wrong. I had my alt pulley on with 1500 watts RMS and (3) 12" subs and had no problems.

The only part I don't like is the crank pulley. I know honda's are internally balanced and it shouldn't matter but that sends up a flag for me.. Don't wanna take the chance.
