30hp from a lightened flywheel and pulleys being installed? Could you get me the specs on those and where I can buy them?

I used to have underdrive pulleys on my Integra and never ones did it die from the AC being on. Maybe, if everything was on the lights would dim slightly at a stopsign at night, but never die. You arent going to get 30hp from installing those though.

I dont know if you in the market for it, but I have some ocean front property in Arizona forsale. Ill let it go for cheap.

you wont get those kind of numbers from pulleys and a flywheel on a hond, you would probabloy get 2-7 hp. pulleys wont really effect drivability but a a fly wheel that is to light will. the function of the flywheel is to keep th crank spinning wile the motor is not on a power stroke (keeps the cranks momentum). so if it is extremely light i suppose u would stall once in a while just save up for a swap

try to use your brain man..

the website you are reading is a retail storefront, they make money off of the product purchases you make from them.


so wouldnt they be more likely to...oh, i dont know....exagerrate their results and claims?

no single mod will get you a +30 horsepower gain (besides a turbo or spray), unless you wanna drop a 350 in or something..

Actually, I found the car to be harder to stall with the lightweight flywheel on.
