omg, thank you.mrvax said:Gentlemen, I hope you are aware that you can use a Dynojet 2 days in a row without touching the car and still have a 5 hp difference SAE corrected. This is splitting hairs here.
Pullies are known to produce small gains because the stock ones are not as bad as they were years ago. Leave it at that.

you really need to shuttup.StangJonGT said:We truly are being invaded by morons. This site is turning into automotiveforums.com. As for the pulley issue, Aaron is right, just some guy is wrong.
If we were talking about a crank pulley, we would be discussing rotational mass. But we are discussing ACCESSORY PULLEYS, which drive our--you guessed it--accessories. Accessories rob power from the engine to run at Ford designed speeds. These speeds came more from Ford lawyers than Ford speed freaks, so there is plenty of HP/TQ to be unlocked by UNDERDRIVING them, meaning using a different size pulley to spin the accessories (alternator, water pump) slower, resulting in less power distributed to them with each engine rotation. With less being taken by the accessories, more can go to the clutch/flywheel/driveshaft and wheels.
Oh, and if you don't think you are getting more power to the ground with lightweight (here is your less rotational mass, just some guy) components in your drivetrain, you need to go back to physics 101. Lets stop the stupid posts from effusive, hyperbolic histrionic types looking for their lime.

EDIT--click here for more on dyno gains with lightweight clutch/flywheel
just some guy said:you really need to shuttup.
you are correct, with all your in depth blabbering about how you think you know everything, more power does go to the wheels by under driving them...
know how much?> a whole 2-3-4 hp! whoope@!
valvetrain stuff is completly different.
and in reply to your thread-----a magazine got 11hp from a diff clutch/flywheel? ya sure. and "maybe a heavily modified GT or cobra would launch at 5k."
uh, i launch at 5k, on nitto 275/40 17 drag radials and stock suspension.
i guess all of my knowledge of stuff like this explains why my car is so damn slow. ya know, all of you guys go and buy your pulleys and lightweight d.s. and f.w.s and clutches and know so much more and call me a moron, when im 8 tenths faster than you and probably faster than everyone else in this thread.
how many street tired n.a 2 valves on stock suspension you know that go 13.1
oh ya, and my only real mods, are cnl plenum, o r x pipe/4.10 gears/timing adjuster
other mods include(cai, shifter, catback)
and on stock tires i run 13.2s, but i guess i dont know anything, cuz i am such a moron.
keep spending your money on useless mods, i will look forward to beating people like you at the track.
make a post about LW flywheel/ al driveshaft... ill be right once more.
i guess since i am such a moron,[/QUOTE
Right on, lots of cheap mods = small gains with inflated hopes and high $$ spent.I love Mustangs, just like to be realistic and not project smoke and mirror gains provided by marketing schemes and advertisers. These cars are fun and fast and have sweet torque. MAkum quicker!!!! Read the reviews at the parts review area of this site for more info. on whats hot and whats not. Pullies are not. They are said to rust, cause leaks, fail alternators, shear belts, drop voltage, cause drivability problems, etc. Would you sacrafice these things for 3-4 HP come on!!!!!!! I can think of much better things to do with $169. For example, just throw it out the window, and your car will be more reliable and run better!! Right??? Do the research....
the url is: http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/tech/0205mmff_boltons/the article said:While it's possible to install the pulleys with the vehicle on the ground, we elected to put the Mustang on a lift so we could also install the Steeda Timing Adjuster and save a little time. It's important to note that the timing adjuster was set to 10 degrees, (which is the stock timing setting), so we could first test the pulleys.
Our first pull with the pulleys and the timing adjuster showed no increase in power, so we placed a call to Steeda to see if we may have done something wrong. We learned that despite setting the timing adjuster to the stock position of 10 degrees, the engine may not have actually been at 10 degrees. Dan Carlson of Steeda explained that because the timing adjuster relocates the pick-up sensor, it may be a degree off, even if the placement of the timing adjuster is set to 10 degrees. Therefore, we may have actually backed the timing off to 9 degrees BTDC. To remedy this we added one degree of timing and tested again.
This time we noticed a gain of three horsepower, but even more impressively, torque jumped to 275 lbs.-ft., for a gain of 12 lbs.-ft. And while we did not find a huge gain in average horsepower, our torque average rocketed from 223.5 to 232 lbs.-ft.
