Looking for opinions on these underdrive pulleys?

I am looking for opinions on these 2 sets of underdrive pulleys. The BlueOvalIndustries and BBK's aluminum ones.

They both claim 10-15hp increase (which we all know is a gross over estimate) But what I am getting at is they both give numbers in the same range.

i would say the BBK's.1.they are a name brand.2.i've ordered from american muscle before,they ship fast and i've never had a problem with them.

if i'm not mistaken,a lot of people here have had many problem's with blue oval industries.like poor customer service,and shipping the wrong parts.if i'm wrong about this company,please correct me and accept my apologies.

Yeah american muscle is really reliable. I always go to them first to check for a part. I'm about to buy the bbk pulleys. I have a bbk strut tower brace and I'm happy with that. Cant go wrong with bbk

I am curious and i know this is off topic. But with your setup what kind of power are you making? and what do you run at the track?

 

[Dark_Pony94]

I havent been dynoed in about 2 years. I dynoed in at 272 rwhp and 309 rwtq before i put in the injectors and pulleys. Track wasnt anything spectacular actually it was really really bad. I had 24# injectors and a 19# MAF so it ran like crap lol. Owner before me ran low 13's. Dont konw if it was on slicks tho

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm shooting for 300 at the wheels NA. So I'm probably gonna have to completely redo the top end. Back on topic, I've had no problems with mine other than a little squeek on start up.

My friend had the BOI aluminum ones for his turbo 95 GT, he never put them on but those mofos were LIGHT. They were the lightest set of pulleys I have ever seen, lighter than Macs.....which my friend had on a 93 Notch for a couple years, which ended up with the crank pulley BREAKING one day randomly.

Honestly if you drive a LOT go with steel pullies... I can say that my steel pulleys (BBKs) show marginal wear after about 50k miles... I bet aluminum wound be showing a lot more wear, maybe even to the point that I would be contemplating replacing them...

The steel vs aluminum is probably only 1 HP (2 max) vs aluminum...

I just bought a new '93 and the only thing I see done to it is blue (underdrive) pullies.

I wonder how I can tell which brand.

You can also get ASP underdrive pulleys in Black, Blue, Red, and Silver if I remember correctly. Mine were red to match the MSD components in the ignition.

The ASP pullies are light as air. I've never heard of underdrive pullies failing after a lot of miles?

FRPP's Are blue as well... and a nice color i might add... i usually hate blue but these look good...

Those Ford Racing ones look like the same color. This car still has the stock air silencer.

Just some "mystery" blue pullies.
