Re: LS1: Cam ONLY Recommendations! (RoliO)
Won't the under drive pulley kinda screw the a/c and potentially other accessories? I never plan on running a big stereo or anything, but I need my a/c! :D
Absolutely NOT!... :D
Could not tell one difference...
Well could you feel or tell a difference in the "supposed" 5-10rwhp this mod is supposed to yield? Somehow I highly doubt a pulley alone is worth 5rwhp let alone 10. Who came up with this number anyway? Has anyone actually dynoed their car before/after with this mod being the only change? I am skeptical only because a pulley netted me "0" hp and 1 rwtq on my camm'ed LT1 Z28. Yeah I know this is a totally different engine, but I still have my doubts. ;) Someone prove me wrong! :p:
I have spoken to a few reliable shop owners and all told me not to waste my money on a pulley as they aren't worth it. Just my .02 :D

Well the problem is as I did most people do not just install the pulley mod by itself. I did cam, headers, etc. all at one time. I can say that you definately will not loose hp with it and the accessories still operate normally so why not. Especially if you are trying to tweak every bit of hp out of your car. + for $250+ it is not a bad deal if it does pick up 10hp. Hell a catback is $800+ and will probably give you less hp. In theory it should give you more power, that is about all I can say...
