About the torque thing though--earlier post said less rotating mass means less torque, but it feels like more... How does less force to get the thing spinning affect torque? Or am I just confused about how torque works? Only explanations I can find online have too many mathematical equations...
Thanks for the kind words! Your experience only adds to what others have been saying up to this point, and we are happy to hear more positive feedback.

And regarding your torque question, take a look at some of our dyno testing we have done on different applications. You can see that the entire power band has been shifted up at every point in the RPM band. NST kits provide more HP and more TQ at every point you look at. Less rotating mass on the engine itself will always lead to such results...

ACURA TSX




INFINITI G35


LOTUS ELISE (has some of the lightest OEM pulleys I have ever seen!)





Don't forget, NST is the only company building pulleys that is actively involved in testing products in RACE CARS. We have several NST sponsored cars in pro road racing and drift series accross the USA.

Our products are built and tested on race cars as well as street cars. We do not build products unless they provide real world gains that we can clearly observe in our testing.

It's ok, politeness is always welcome!

Thanks NST for posting the dyno sheets! I do understand what these mean--I was just getting confused about how torque numbers are derived, could not read rotational mass/acceleration equations; guh, all those greek symbols!
