The reason I pointed out that he is 20 is because of his BS statement about being around in motorsports since before AEM, JG etc. Which is just pure BS. Unless you could skateboards or bicycles as motorsports. But, I do agree that your age has nothing to do with horsepower. So the next time someone defends his products with an "I've been doing this since before blah bah blah..." speech rather than a simple dyno sheet you should be very worried.
AEM started in 1987 (thats 17 years ago for the math challenged) ==> http://aempower.com/about_aem.asp see the problem with his statement yet? well let me spell it out for you.
DHRacingJosh was 4 YEARS OLD when AEM started. What exactly about his statement was not bullshit?
Or do you believe his statement that he has been doing this since before AEM came around?
do you?
I don't (of course). I recognize that he was not telling the truth. Some would even dare to call it bullshitting. Others would race to his defence. Why? god only knows.

And thats the truth. Just because AEM started in 1987 doesn't mean that they were booming. It takes years before a company gets off the ground. Everyone will see a dyno soon. Hell, there will be a DYI on this soon too.

Dude amazing records you hold. And people like LSR that come and bash really have nothing better to do. Don't worry about it man, you are like the number one sales person on this site, you are getting a lot of business from here, with the exceptional *** who needs to get some anger out because he can't afford the products you offer. I'll always support you, even though I woke you up one morning at 10. LoL.
enough said ! Josh you made a great come back. I think if you want to shut those "haters" out there, mine as well prove yourself and do a dyno. I know is hard for a busy company to do such a thing, but IMO if you want to shut up those guys up. The paper will prove it. This is only my suggestion. Thx for all the hard work on 7th gen civic.
cheer
(damn, those are some crazy record man !!!)

Rep Power: 0 I agree completely....and at the same time I understand the nature of an overstatement. If I remember correctly, the "i have been in the business since before Aem" defense was in response to some mechanic. This mechanic, regardless of the possible repurcussions of ANY aftermarket performance part, told a member on this site that a DH Pulley would destroy his engine....so you kind of have to evaluate a vendor's rep and their integrity.
As a new member, I know that it's hard for me to trust someone who is selling a controversial part....I have no experience foundation to base trust on, so I have to base it on the opinions of others and the things that Josh says; as a result of that, I am very reluctant to pump my money into something which "shows substancial gains" but may threaten my mode of transportation.
By no means am I defending LSD...because...seriously man....you're thorough but you really should make a better case before you present it. In his defense, Josh made a slight overstatement....who gives a !@#$. There is a huge difference between a lie and an overstatement to get your point accross.
Well, Josh, impressive resume....congrats on making fat cash. Wish I was in your shoes right about now.
Yoyoio is right, those of us who aren't as farmiliar with you and your busniess may discount your word until we have done bussiness with you. A Dyno would speak for itself. It would give us solid proof rather than a few opinions. IMO, a dyno would light a fire under your "multi-million dollar business" and drive it that much further. It would shut the skeptical members the hell up and catch the eye of the everyday passerby.

i have to go with LSRCivic and agree that Josh said something that defintely doesn't add up... but this doesn't mean that the pulley's don't work, in fact two members have already stated that they saw noticeable differences.
anyways i'm still waiting for my spacer like everyone here, can't wait to put the pulley on and see how my car runs.
btw, mootlif, how come you decided to put the pulley on w/o the spacer? did your mechanics tell you that they could do it without one? just curious...

Thanks. I tried really hard to resist the urge to make it better.
No more arguing a point. However, I do reserve my right to create an "I TOLD YOU SO" thread in the future.

I'm still waiting on a couple more pulleys, and things have been so hectic I am trying to get these pulley spacers out to you guys, but it hasn't been easy. I should have a couple more dual grooves out by Monday I hope. Sorry man didn't want to keep you waiting this long.

the belt sizes that were posted earlier were these for the powersteering belt, go to any autozone and ask for the kelly-springfield #390k4.
for the alternator belt, go to any pepboys and ask for the dayco #350k6.

I work in a shop and tried every name car part store in town for the 350k6 and they all said it doesn't exist. Dayco is the only brand that makes it and they are sold only at Pep Boys.
I'm offering 50 points to the first member who posts a write up with legitimate before/after dyno charts showing torque and HP gains achieved from installing DH's dual groove pulley on a NA (i.e., non-turbo) EM2. Anyone else wanna add to this incentive? Dyno time is after all quite expensive, and legitimate test results would put an end (hopefully) to the continuing debate regarding the quality of DH's product.
Im very interested in getting the dual-groove dh pulley. Im VERY new to this so please bear with me. What kind of wear and tear to the alternator am i going to have with this pulley. I am just concerned about it because I dont have the money to buy a new one and then my warranty is ****ed. Also, is there any negative effects to this? I just dont want to install it and then a week later my car isnt running. But if someone can PLEASE explain to me how this increases hp so i can show my dad(wont let me get it till i explain and prove to him). Thanks

Rep Power: 0 Ok guys, I might need a little help here. I bought the belts, I know the 4 is right but the 6 I am questioning.
I got the Dayco 350k6 from Discount Auto Parts on a special order.....but.....it's a Poly cog, does that make any difference?
Also Josh, I think I have this timing thing down. Ok here goes my explination: The only reason why we want to mark when the #1 piston is at the dead top is because when we take it to go get dyno tuned, they know where the dead top is? So basically when I install this tommarow, I don't need to worry about timing, cuz no matter what it's goingt o be messed up?
