As I have stated several times... the principles of weight reduction and underdriving apply the same way, regardless of transmission type. Weight reduction is very noticeable when it is performed in the rotating assembly. The gains are there, and they are real. We have a large number of automatic owners buying these pulleys.... sadly, as much as I beg and bump and plead, people don't seem to want to post up...
Consider this analogy... Person A weighs 300lbs and goes on a diet, sheds 10% of his weight. Will he notice a difference? Person B weighs 250lbs and goes on a diet, sheds 10% of his weight. Will he notice a difference? The answer should be yes, they will both notice the benefits of weight reduction, even though they started out at different weights. For those who don't consider pulleys a "worthwhile" modification... I find it interesting that many of the same people invest in lighter wheels, body panels, and especially lightweight flywheels. The concept is the same. In fact, weight reduction in the rotating assembly yields better gains than similar weight reduction performed elsewhere. Good luck and have fun with all your projects everyone! |
