I don't here a lot of talk about chaning pulleys here. I have never considered it myself as I have not heard of what the gains would be so I'd be interested in hearing its benefits as it pertains to drag racing.

The pulley cause less drag on the motor. Good for a couple of rwhp but it allows the engine to rev faster. I noticed a huge difference in reving with the pulley!
