Are they worth it? im getting a buddy club short shifter and i currently have a aem v2 intake. What should i go to next? will the pulleys actually help?

there are much better ways to spend your money if you want gains. race header and k pro would be two very good options.

sure they will help but don't expect 10-12hp like they advertise.
and remember that they affect other things, like how much power your alternator actually pushes out, so if you have a system, you might not want them.

I saw a dyno sheet where a lightweight crank pully made a 10 WHP increase on a Honda Fit.
