no.


i think the power gains will be minimal. possibly non-existant.


similar to your language skills.


welcome to HT land of the sometimes quasi-helpful but always condecending response.

Youll probably notice it revs up a bit faster, similar to having a lighter flywheel (which is also a good idea). As for hp gains they will be minimal unless you ditch the power steering and aircon at the same time

from what I've been told you don't want to go with a pulley without dampner unless you get your bottom end balanced, you can always get the stock shaved, remove ps and ac ribs and then have it balanced. it is safe a relatively cheap.

i agree. increases the chances of spun rod bearing. not that it means it will happen, but if you don't know how to take apart your bottom end, its probably not worth the throttle response you will gain. Get a 7lb flywheel, and you'll never worry about it again.

You are correct.

Premature wear on main bearings. Don't do it.

Its funny watching n00bs fight on ht. Especially ones that cant take a little criticism.
Get so mad about nothing and of course out comes the obligatory "***" or "you must be gay" however how critiquing ones typing skills relates to the other persons sexuality is beyond me.


Anyway, crank pullies on a 4 dont really do squat. Better off with a flywheel like people have said.

Listen, you came on here to ask a question. He answered it. Whether or not he is from N.Y., doesn't give you the right to act like a 5-year old when the answer given to you doesn't fit your standard. Grow up and learn to take criticism. It is a message board.

It won't do as much as a flywheel, but everyhting helps. I wouldn't expect to notice the difference though. It may be nice if you've removed your AC and PS though, as you can order one from OR that has only the alternator belt on, will clean things up if nothing else.
