also....it wont work with "piggy back" under drive pulleys, so if u advance your timing 10 degrees you can probably gain more power that way then having under drive pulleys right?

Timing Adjusters are junk...Stay away from them...

Piggyback under-drive pulleys are junk...Stay away from them...

If you wantto adjust the timing get an XCAL2...If you want under-drive pulleys go buy some steeda's...

+1 on what chris said. I had the timing adjuster and ending up forgoing it and using my programmer to adjust my timing. it's not an exact science with the mechanical one on our cars. also, get the steeda UDP's.

They suck! Just get Steeda, and you'll see better performance.

They are more prone to breaking and doing damage to your engine. You do not want a pulley breaking at 80 MPH.
