aem under drive pulleys... are they worth the money?

[CRXSSIVE]

well is it ideal to get the aem underdrive pulleys for a b16 that has minor engine mods ?

get a couple more ponys hittin your wheels but thats max. plus your alternator and power steering pump so on will not be spinnin as fast as there supposed to. power steering no big deal , but alternator spinnin slower can be bad specially if you run amps(stereo). If your car has AC im not sure but it prolly makes your compressor work harder.

Not worth it.

I got them only cuz a friend sold his car, and let me have them for $50! I only use the power steering one. Slowing the alt ain't worth it! I agree that you probably only get a couple HP. Not enough to feel. I only did it to try to protect my PS when screaming at 6000rpm, by slowing it.

 

Not worth the full price!!

Again with most questions, this requires a driver specific answer, to many they are right, slowing the alternator isnt worth the extra horses, nor slowing other components, but to flat out say its not worth it is an uneducated response, cause some of us, take out amenitites such as ac and power steering, or some of us didnt have them in the first place. So for me they were worth it because not only did I get the couple extra horses, but the weight I lost from removing such components was overall better for my situation, but again may not for all......

absolutely i agree but one thing though , lol , if you have none if these options than people like you as you said wouldnt put underdrive pullys on as you have no pullys goofy. hahaha. puttin one on your crank alone does sweet fuk all for ya.
