don't get ligth pulleys

Re: thoughts on my build
 

They were free cause I helped this guy install his turbo kit.

Whats wrong with em?

Re: thoughts on my build
 

ive heard that aftermarket pulleys are ---- becuase the dont have dampening, which vibrates the ---- out of engine parts.

Basically your oil pump will self destruct sooner or later. If you're willing to gamble with it for a few extra hp, then leave the lightweight crank pulley on there. If they're under drive pullies then your alternator basically won't charge your battery at idle and your lights will probably dim out.

Seems like a lot of sacrifice for not a lot of performance.

Re: thoughts on my build
 

light crank pulleys don't dampen the vibrations like they should and bearings go to ---- fast, but hey they do add 1.5 horsepower

Re: thoughts on my build
 

My thoughts are that you should have waited until you actually did something, rather than wasting my time.'


But then again, you have a wicket sweet 2.5" cat delete. Holy ---- dud, that's some sick ---- ::)
