Not so much, unless you're skilled enough to do your own custom build and tune. I'm hoping to eventually have some forced induction kit options, but at this time, there are none.

Yea you'd have to do a custom build since AP doesn't work with out cars and no one has tested any kits. A lot of engine management might not work exactly right.

It seems to rev up quicker. The needle on the RPM gauge moves quicker since I'm underdriving. I also think that the switch from a stop to 1st gear, from clutch to gas, is somewhat smoother. It seems to have to spin up as less with the pulleys. That is probably just a personal opinion. The water pump pulley didn't fit so I'm only underdriving the crank and alternator. Honestly they it probably doesn't do much and it is nothing you can notice immediately. I think the dyno would show results, and your buttdyno likes to think there is a quicker feel.
