Based on past experiences with other cars I can see how you may need a slightly shorter belt with your setup and it sounds like you have found your solution.

Buying a new belt is a small price to pay in exchange for picking up a few extra ponies

Any other owners out there running around with no a/c, please feel free to comment.

i was just hoping it could be noted somewhere that a new belt is req'd if you don't have a/c

i realize it wont come up too often, but itll save a lot of running around for someone doing the next install

You're not alone. I'm planning on getting the pullies soon and I don't have AC. I'm glad I popped over to this thread first.

tried to PM, but u gotta delete some first so...

hey, i was thinkin about underdriving but it's seriously not suggested for my camaro as a daily driver. i was wondering what you would say as a economical standpoint on the underdrive. i'm worried about longevity over power...i have a 500hp camaro for power...

any way, i'm going with the alt and wp pullies as well, but dont know about underdriving.

any way, PM or reply here pls.

I sent NST a pm about 9 days ago and haven't received a response yet. Either way, I was wondering about how long it would take a dealership to install one of these?

My mechanic installed my underdrive pulley for me, took him about 45mins-1hour. Wasn't very long.

I don't believe I received this PM. Either way, installation should require less than an hour by a pro mechanic.

Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

Thanks for the quick reply ruimond. My dealership only charges $40 an hour on accessories and these actually fall under that category.

I would assume with the NST pulley since it is lighter and less rotational mass one who does more stop and go driving would benefit more from it than someone who does mostly longer consistant speed commute. Since it requires less power from a stop to go than it does to keep at a constant rotational higher speed.

And my last tank jumped to 35mpg. The most i ever got for months. I am hoping its not a fluke as there are many variables. But im awaiting to post my results again the next fuel up. If its the same than the pulley will pay itself of in fuel ecnomy alone especially if gas prices rise. I drive very aggresively so i can imagine if i backed off the throttle a bit i would get even better results. I hit redline on a daily basis.
