I felt no gains. Was very easy to put back on. After you losen the top and bottom bolt just tighten the wingnut so the belt is tight and retighten the bolts. In any event i found it a complete waste of 15 minutes. i felt moe power when i bypassed the coolant from the TB.

its a d17, what do you expect? not gonna have any gains without turbo/swap.

I figure any time you take away parasitic loss its helpful. I felt squat. That just doesnt make sense.

Atleast he took the time to test it out!

Yeah. So I guess the AEM pulleys won't give any gains then.

what does removing a belt have to do with aem pulleys?

* i understand the point your trying to make, if no difference is noticed with the ps not hooked up, whats the point of a lighter ps pulley, but i wouldnt call the aem pulleys crap just because of that. it does come with a crank pulley which has a much better chance of increasing power than a ps pulley

AEM doesn't make the crank pulley. But yeah, if completely losing ps doesn't help, a lightened pulley will only be worse.
