I looked at the pulleys. How much power will you pick up loosing half of a pound on a pulley? I don't buy that. Maybe 1/2 of a HP. If it were underdrive pulleys I would understand but the aftermarket pulley is the same size as stock just lighter. I think this is for looks. I come from a background of drag racing and real HP. My blown alcohol BBC made 2700HP and my alcohol turbo smallblock made 2450HP. Now that I understand real horsepower you can not convince me you feel the power from adding a pulley. If I spend 120 on a pulley, 250 on cold air and 400 on exhaust I am getting close to $1000 bucks for maybe 10 horsepower. You can tune a motor and pick up more than that. So I am looking to tune the engine. I know there is a way and through the O2 sensor sounds pretty legit to me.
Go race your 116HP rice burner You noob!
