Cuz your butt dyno told u so.

in the other words, you just failed.

pulleys are nice, but unless you go all out, its total waste of money/time.

For that price you can buy a BHR\spec flywheel.
That makes a difference... but maybe all you want is the bling factor.
In that case buy the pulleys, the flywheel is not visible.

it might be better for you to use that 400 bux to take a driver's course than pulleys.

with both a lightweight flywheel and pulley kit it does rev faster (so I think at least) however not even the butt dyno does not gives me the sense of extra hp or faster acceleration. Just a way for me to say "hey check me out I got all this mad tight **** on my car yo!"

wish I didnt waste the money and bought a bhr ignition or something else in its place
