Just curious if any body had put an underdrive pulley on there car, and how much of a difference it made, or how much HP you gained,, thanks.

most aftermarket underdrive crank pulleys...
1. dont have a dampener so they are much more likely to throw random misfire codes 2. will spin the alternator, PS pump, ect much faster and that can cause accelerated wear, damage to the alternator/voltage regulator/electrical system, difficulty turning due to less torque drivingt the PS pump, and a host of other undesirable issues. -------------------- |
