hey guys, i know that the ITR's have alot of good "stock" parts so i was wondering if spending the 300 bucks on racing underdrive pulleys would be worth it ? The Unorthodox Racing brand clames atleast an 8hp gain but have seen gains up to 37 horses at the wheels

I think 37 is a bit extreme but A gain is possible, but how much?

 

im def. not expecting 37. The Article said atleast 8, but they have seen gains up to 37. I'm still not sure if these numbers were tested on an R. or another make of car. im in the process of posting a pic of my teg. i just have to get a website or whatever the hell i need to post it. ill have a pic up by tuesday for sure. nothing special .. nice and clean .. thats how i like ITR's ... for now im sticking with the stock look on the outside. Im thinking about going "sleeper" style because i love they way they look

What the?!? Dont know what kind of pulleys youve seen, but i have never ever seen that before. And some advice. if you liek your a/c, and power steering do NOT change your pulleys its not worth the additional 2 horses you might get from it

 

...maybe 5-8whp on your car and up to 37 on a 600whp drag motor...

 

yea im not expecting anything near 37 i was just wondering if anybody had done this to their ITR and had results... it prolly wont be my next purchase but im going to keep them in mind

 

I have AEM underdrive pullies. Save your money, not worth it. They were a gift otherwise it would not be on my car.

 

alright, thanks alot man that helps casue i really wasnt sure or not.

 

Does power steering and A/C still work after you replace your stock pulley's......

 

Everything works like normal except your electrical system takes a big hit. The alternator spins alot slower than OEM and as a result, the lights dim when you're at idle. With A/C, headlights on, and cd player running (without amplifier) at idle, the battery gets drained FAST.
