If you want some good power go with Unorthodox Racing pulleys. They are the only company that I know of that makes a crank pulley with their kits. This with an a/ps pulley should give pretty decent power, but the lighter weight crank pulley will not be very safe once more hp is added (especially fi or nos).

waste of money imo.

if you're going to get a crank pulley i'd go with the ctr n1 crank pulley and call it a day.

yeah **** them man, unless u want a a track only car don't do it, its like a 2 horsepower gain and u sacrifice all of ur accessories. (they lose power). ac, alternator, power steering, etc. Maybe some light weight ones just to reduce rotation force, but other then that, they are pointless in my mind.

Save your money and either throw some boost on that motor, put together a Poor Man's R or call it a day keeping it stock with a few boltons!

I would stay away from both. I had the ctr n1 and i destroyed my oil pump.
