Pulleys i hear 8-10hp gain true or false
 

which would be the best

from what I've read, I think closer to 3 hp

Maybe - if the AC was running & you had a huge alternator load.

Just turning off loads will also give back lost power.

this site is starting to get filled with smart @sses

lol. no one was being a smartass with you. Maybe you should reread what was posted here.

it was a message i just got


anyway anyone using a pulley set

I'm pretty sure it's a well known thing on this forum that pulleys do in fact give you 1-3 horsepower tops.

UNORTHODOX ULTRA SS PULLEY SET <<<how do you feel about this set

its a known fact that you need every hp out of the 8

I don't have the pulleys, but there are plenty of people who have them. Get them if you want them, in the end, it is your decision...no one else's.

i know the (decision) is mine just asking for the best ones or are they all the same.Or do people perfer one over the next

the gains don't seem to justify the cost, but if you want max gains, look for the largest under driven % and buy that.

I can tell you which set ppl tend to like the least.....Greddy. If I ever buy them I'm going with Unorthodox. If I only want the crank pulley I'll go with AP.....does this help.

As far as I can glean AP is the preferred set (well only main pulley actually) cos they are OK and pretty cheap for a small minor effect mod.

People who are really fanatical have got other ones too, and most people seem happy if not whooping for joy.

You aren't going to gain 8-10 hp. 1-2 is more like it.

The UR set looks real nice, but its rather pricey, and you aren't going to get much better performance.

I have the Agency Power crank pulley. I didn't notice any power gained in the "butt dyno", but I wouldn't expect to notice 1-2 rwhp anyways so I wasn't dissapointed. And its only $125 bucks, might as well, it's cheap.

UNORTHODOX ULTRA SS PULLEY SET will be my choose i guess

but is the AP more under drivin

I got the UR, put it in, noticed like a little difference but u gotta stare at that speedometer for it

Yes and cheaper & includes belts also!:)

this site is continuing to get it's fill of people too incompetent to search ...

a total waste of money, 1-2hp is not worth a penny. you wont see a difference in any dyno. take 2 identical cars, one with pulleys and one with none, neither will pull on the other. temperatures, a big dinner, or even tire pressures have more affect then pulleys.

someone on this site actually did that with the AP pulley. Even to the extent of taking it off again then putting it back on .
Conclusion was that there was a good 1/2 car length gain on the 3rd + 4th gear pull up to about 100mph . This would suggest the 1-3 hp figure is about right .

The AP is the cheapest & will give as good if not better gains than the others so thats the one I went for .

hmm thats very surprising. any video of that?

on a type-s, a thicker intake manifold gasket net's 1-2whp proven on a dyno. but never once does anyone say it will pull on one stock type-s or another. hence why i dont have it in my list as a mod added.

i would think 1-3hp is equivalent to a 100lbs or less passenger which would do little to nothing. in fact, adding a cold air intake to a type-s nets 7-8whp and again, the pull between a stock and a type-s with a cold air intake is negligible. fender length at best maybe? but not half a car.

but if there's video proof of a pulley doing that, im willing to see and be proven otherwise.

where is this majical intake thet adds 7-8hp ? No-one on here has been able to show those gains with just an intake.

I'll see if I can find the relavent post for you (no video though) . It turned into a bit of a shit fight with a sceptic in the end but I believed the guy did a good test .

sorry can't find the thread - my search skills are not that great .

yet the same people who say these parts make no power then point their finger and say "look at all your mods" when comparing their dyno results to mine, lol ...
