They "advertise up to 20 horsepower". In reality its about ten. Makes your cars accessories **A/C, alternator ect** run slower so it uses less power. I like the Mach "polished" ones from midamerica. I wouldnt use it and expect a big gain from them but it would dress up my engine bay a little.

I used the March system 8 yrs ago when i had all bolt ons. After 3 yrs the rubber damper seperated from the crank pulley. The gains were there at the track (stock 93, headers no cats, 4.09s, pullies 1.6 rr = 12.8 @ 111). Eventually I replaced them with the ASP under drive which lok liek a super quality piece in comparison.
Only downside to the march is the alternator pulley is small too so at idle the interior lights will dim as will the headlights etc.

I just installed the March Power and Amp series on my 1989 along with a new alternator and belt. The combo works great. The crank and WP pulleys are black powder coated aluminum, and the little alt. pulley is billet steel. No cons so far and the car seems to rev a little quicker. Alternator output stays above 14.2 on my digital gauge while in motion. Very high quality parts.

I have the same kit. Good quality stuff and I have been running them for about 2 years with no issues.

I just ordered myself a set a few minutes ago! That's the best price I've seen for these.
BTW - My understanding is this set comes with a new belt, although I could be wrong. Is there a source or p/n for a replacement belt? Do I have to get a replacement belt from March if/when I need it?

.I'm excited - can't wait for these pulleys to arrive. It's almost the end of Corvette season up here so I'm hoping to install 'em and try the car before putting it away for the winter.
Thanks again.
