so whats the benefit of them?

[El_Cangri]

free up some h.p

[Onemanzu]

key word free up

they make your engine not taxed so much by the rotating of the accessories and what not ... so its a lil quicker on the rev

[Nick_Rapitis]

is it worth it if you dont really have too many serious performance mods?

[El_Cangri]

its a good mod...

but not a big one... is like getting a cai but better than that

[Onemanzu]

its the only mod i have and i noticed it at the pump and the very first time i was in the car

[Nick_Rapitis]

how much do they run and how hard is it?

[Onemanzu]

its easy to install bout an hour tops...

and for your car... round $250 ish

[Nick_Rapitis]

i'll look into that next spring i think, along with gears and tlok, and new paint...

[WLJohnson05]

but if ur running a pretty big sound systems def. not recommended

[Nick_Rapitis]

why's that wlj?

[Onemanzu]

well its doesn't turn the accessories as fast as they once did ... say your crank turns the alt pulley at 100 times a minute... you get a 25% under drive it will only turn it at 75 times a minute ... or soo...

thats why you get an alternator over drive pulley!!

[Nick_Rapitis]

that sounds like a lot more money and effort then...

[Onemanzu]

check out VMPtuning.com for prices then thats a great starting point

nah the alt pulley is like 20-40 buck here at P.R its a easy thing to do if ur mechanicly inclined...

[Nick_Rapitis]

well i wont be doing anymore mods untill tax return time or once class lets out in the spring cuz im tight for cash right now but i'll look into it more then...thanks for the help...or one other thing, how about a bigger throttle body? worth it?

[WLJohnson05]

naw i'll just stick to not have underdrive pulleys...

about the t.b its worthless unless u port a polish picture it like this
the door is the t.b and the ceiling the intake and a nice large t.v the air..

if u got a 4ft tall door and a 4ft tall ceiling ur ok... but lets say u want to enter a nice large hdtv so u buy that 7ft tall door to enter the nice hdtv.. what would happen??

the t.v wouldn enter cause the ceiling is restricting. the ceiling its still at 4ft tall so its like if u still got the 4ft door in there. so u would need to get the ceiling higher to go with the door

understand?

nice comparison

[El_Cangri]

i think thats the only easy way to explain... if i go tech maybe like 30% members would be like wtf he is talking about (the 30% would be like newbs)
