I picked this up in a trade from a friend. Are they any good? I cant seem to find any info that is definite. its an alternator pulley. This would be the only aftermarket mod to my engine. and a good friend told me they are good and ill get revv happy. I just want to hear what everyone else has to say

ALSO

What about the AEM tru-power power steering lightweight pulley? Whats the benifits of that. Do lightweight pulleys hurt the car in any way?

Thanks

 

Won't be anything to noticeable, just makes it easier to spin the alt. in turn less power taken from the engine, and will not spin the alternator as fast causing less charging power, nothing to worry about

It's simple physics

Throw it on

 

So I wouldnt get any gains?

 

Maybe 1-2hp/1-2tq

Nothing you would notice

But you will get a visual 10hp in coolness

 

If I add a sticker, maybe 13hp

 

bump. added another question

like stated before, you're not going to feel much of a difference, and with the Alt. pulley, you're going to kill your battery quick. It's happened to me and several other people who run their stock Alternators

 

It only kills your battery if you have a lot of accessories. like a sound system. thats what people say.

 

I would think you should only run that at the track and without ever using any accessories.

 

Why?
