Installed AEM Underdrive Pulley Kit - Awesome

Ok - I just installed these AEM Pulleys (P/S and Alternator) and they look and perform great.

I borrowed my buddy Passport G-Tech before installing the Pulleys.

1st Mod = Injen Short Ram Air Intake:
My 0-60 time was 12.72 sec
My 1/4 mile was 17.18 sec / 82.9 MPH

Ran it again and got:
My 0-60 time was 12.85 sec
My 1/4 mile was 17.35 sec / 81.2 MPH


2nd Mod = Injen Air Intake and Greddy Evo2 Exhaust:
My 0-60 time was 9.27 sec
My 1/4 mile was 16.24 sec / 85.8 MPH

Ran it again and got:
My 0-60 time was 9.73 sec
My 1/4 time was 16.85 sec / 84.4 MPH

3rd Mod = Injen Air Intake and Gredd Evo2 Exhaust and AEM Pulley Kit:
My 0-60 time was 7.845 sec
My 1/4 time was 15.65 sec / 94.3 MPH

Have not been able to get that good of a time again - will try tomorrow in the morning when the temp is cooler.

So how does the Pulleys work - they are bigger so does that mean they turn/rotate slower or faster.

Also they are a lot lighter - that I understand.

Anyways - this was a good mod in my book - I have a factory stereo so no need to worry about the Alternator going bad.

Later,
Mike

I know - maybe there was an incline - downhill or some back wind. I just tried it again and got 9.01 (0-60). Too much traffic right now - will try next morning.

Later,
Mike

its believeable. shaving time off an slow car is easier to accomplish than a fast one.

its easier to shave time off a 17 second car than an 12 sec one.

The bigger the pulley the easier it is to turn the accessory. Kinda like using a larger wrench to give you more leverage on a stubborn bolt. Since its easier to turn now you have more power for other things, like the wheels.
