let me put a stop to this thread right now. pullies are a waste of money. they dont do **** and ur lucky if you see 2hp out of them. not worth the time to buy them, put them in urself or have someone put them in unless you have a swap to make them worth it.

i had aem pullies, alt blew in a few months. still have the ps no problem, just for looks. crank pulley bad news.

I had the aem pullies for around 40,000 miles with no problems. stil using the original battery in my 01. maybe 1-2 hp if that. I picked them up cheap. I am now running the unorthodox crank pulley. It had a noticable gain.

I have the alt pulley, no ps pulley since I took the ps out. I think it gives a bit quicker acceleration, but like everyone says maybe 1 or 2 hp. Wouldn't recommend it as a first mod, but once you've done all of the other crap it's something to do.

I say no don’t get them!

I bought the 8lbs crank pulley before doing research...

then sold it...

Mine Works Fine. Have Had It For 50,000 Miles. Noticed Some Increase In Torque In The High End.

I would like a larger PS pully but same alt pulley. That would be great. I don't like the ps being so mushy.

i didnt notice any ps difference after the pulley was put on. its just for looks.

Oh, then its a real waste. PS is too much on our cars, but I don't want to remove it cause my mom drives it about 1 or 2 times a year and that won't work out well lol.

I've had them for a year, and have had no problems with my alternator.

Getting close to two years (about 30,000 miles) with the under-drive pulleys on, including light weight crank, and i have had absolutely no problems with the engine, alternator, or power steering. My charging system works at full capacity even with a system. The battery died once, but that was cause i left a map light on all night, not cause of a bad alternator. Everything the crank pulley nay sayer (Gearbox) has said would happen, hasn't happened.

consider yourself lucky. i already cited many examples of bearing failure that could only be caused by lightened crank pulley.
