What about Pulleys

Shock and Awe
I replaced mine with the SR motorsports pulley set. They are nice, I have never had any problems in the 2 years they have been installed, but the gain is minimal.

Worthless. We did dyno them. 1 hp. Waste of money. Not to mention it makes the CEL go back on every time you reset the engine. Have to reset it again after that. Save your money, get the RB REVi + Ram air duct.

I have been looking forward to see the opinion from other people (other than you), but looks like every time somebody is thinking about trying them, you go ahead and stop them.
I don't mean to offend you, but I would like to see some pulley posts where you don't post your past experience. Maybe you did something wrong during your test, may be not, but thats the reason I would like to see other opinions, with a dyno to back it up, a dyno result other than yours.

Maybe you should let some people try them.

If you want to waste/spend your money on pullies then go right ahead. I do think people should be warned on what does/doesn't work on our cars. It's kind've like if you tell a child not to bang his head on the wall because it will hurt. Some kids just have to experience the pain for themselves. Most of us have a limited amount of money to spend on upgrades. I'm just suggesting to other people how to make that money go farther/spend smarter.

I have the SR pullies, they were my first mod and I didn't really notice a difference. I never had my car dynoed before or after (or ever). I have not had a cel or any rough idling problems with the pullies. I also have an RP supercat and the RB intake and duct.
If you are new to modding cars the pullies are kind of difficult, a midpipe/cat or intake are usually easier installs and like fanman says they have proven hp gains (minimal though)
If you want the pullies they look good and while they are difficult to install, like all mods I had fun installing them.
