underdrive pulleys

what is the opinion on underdrive pulleys. Are they worth it or not? If so, who makes the best on the market?

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have them and they do more harm than good.

Re: underdrive pulleys (DragII)

what about the cam gear by aem. I have a zex camshaft installed and the proper way to tune the cam gear is obviously on a dyno, but it is like $150 to rent out the dyno where I live. What type of increase could I expect with the cam gear if I adjusted for more top end power

Instead of AEM go with the Skunk Cam gears. The allen heads on the AEM suck.

Re: underdrive pulleys (maxim)

the prices are generally the same right? I know it is hard to guess but what type of horses increase should I be looking for with the cam gear installed
