A pulleys job is to take off weight. The belts move faster and there's less strain on them.
The AEM pulley kit will give you about 5-8 hp....the Unorthodox kit, which has four pulleys instead
of two, can give you up to 15hp...most of this power, if not all, is from the weight reduction.
Pulleys will NOT harm your car in anyway, nor will it harm performance. For a good soup up on a civic,
pulleys are a must.

Wow...5-8 hp is pretty impressive for an AEM pulley kit. I just got them in today, and I'll let you guys know what I think as soon as get them in.
