Pulleys: Worth it?

pulleys made me pull harder in the upper rpm's, felt a noticeable difference, great bang for the buck, but sometimes when my car sits out over night and i get up in the morning it takes me driving around a few minutes before my right blinker starts working

Between this and Hpipe/X pipe....lol

Get the pulleys and dont look back! The way I see it is you never see pulleys being sold in the classifieds. VERY rarely. Why? Cuz nobody wants to get rid of them. Take from that what you like.

For under $100, you cant possibly go wrong.

Just bite the bullet and get them. All that bad talk about them is "hogwash". If your car is in shape and you take care of problems when they happen, then you will have NO problems whatsoever. Those that have problems typically either run an amp, already have an a battery or alternator that is beyond its years or underpowered or they already have a slight cooling problem. Pulleys typically ONLY bring problems to the surface that already exist. You just dont notice them as much with the pulleys off cuz they are not big enough to notice quite YET. Pulleys have been around forever, they rarely get sold on the internet and just about every company out there sells them. Demand is high for them and the desire to part with them is often low.

I'm not trying to convince you to get them. But yeah, if you have a car that is not cooling quite as cool as you would like and you put on pulleys, its going to get hot. If you have an old battery and and an amp, the volts are going to go low. They will go low anyways, they have to, expect it. The car is going to run hotter, it has to ,expect that as well. Dont be shocked when it happens. Every performance part has a sacrafice.

My opinion.

i have the black steel pulleys so no one can look and tell they are underdrive. i too used my stock alternator pulley bc the size difference wasnt enough to give me any more hp than needed. i got all the horses, and didnt need to F with the alternator

well, black aluminum look just the same as steel, but give you more performance. mine look great too btw, ASP, and I didn't say the coating would ever fall off on the March... I just said that they aren't as good as ASP (and if I didn't say that exactly, that's what I meant)

-oh, btw, changing out for the stock alt pulley doesn't give you as much power as if you put the one they give you on... I can't explain that one, but I know it's been dyno proven, I think they work in conjunction w/ each other and all that stuff...

so using the stock alternator pulley wont make that much of a difference then using the one they give you?

i have stock alt pulley becuase the one mac send me wouldn't fit...so i said F* it...only slight flickering while ideling at night with the lights blinker heater and windshield wipers on but as soon as the rpms get over 550 all the problems are gone
