underdrive pulleys?
 
What's the best choice for my 05 auto 8?
I've seen a few but I don't want to make the wrong choice.

they are just for show. search. theres a thread on this topic

my favorite are the SuperNow pullies, though like 200 said, they are for pure show... some say they help with downshifting though.

basically get whatever colored ones you want. I like the supernow pullies because they are purple and shaped like a rotary.

mines made by Agency Power, im pretty happy with it

I've got an Agency Power underdrive pulley. I've dyno'd with and without it, doesn't do jack.

Helps keep the water pump from cavitating at sustained high RPM and downshifting is a bit better but that's it.

yea they say its better throttle response tho

yes i did, so that means you prove on the dyno it didnt work?

EricB 05-29-2012 12:39 AM

many people have.. in many threads. they dont do anything.(people say it makes downshifting easier) but no hp gains

You're killing me man.

quicksilver34 05-29-2012 10:27 AM

Sorry bout that

Yeah I have the agency power pulley and imo i felt it was smoother maybe better response but nothing impressive.. If your bored and want something to do its cheap enough to spend some time on the car. Thats the only reason why I touched mine

timmytriangles 06-07-2012 01:16 AM

yea i think it mite of moved the power band a little in the rpm range but didnt really make it fast or anything lol they look nice tho, i dont have an engine cover on so i like to see them when im cleaning the engine bay lol

EricB 06-07-2012 03:18 AM

Supernow pullies or bust.
