Underdriving pullies.
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I want to get it right first time !!
Anyone bother with these pullies, can they really do a good enough job of driving the water pump, alternator and power steering and still save a quoted 20 hp ??
Seems a lot, especially in the straight line position, in daytime, etc.
Driving at night in a constant circle with the air con on - maybe..............
Any thoughts or experiences ??

Compared to stock, they are beautiful, light weight, and did I mention beautiful. I bought them for converting from manual to power steering. I needed the 3 groove crank pulley, and upgraded to them.
I have no input on the HP issue.

Even if you took all the accessories off and threw them away you wouldn't gain 20HP. Save your money, these 'bubba' aftermarket pieces are not worth the trouble.

Just another highly promoted aftermarket piece that really is unnecessary advertising hypothetical HP improvements.

Mine seemed to have helped, when you only have 185hp it's easy to notice. A higher hp motor probably would not be noticed. As far as a/c lights etc. at night it's not supposed to be affected, maybe dimming at a traffic light.
