Does your area require smog? A new belt is almost 30$ in my area in southern cali and a delete pulley is around 60$, my point being is why spend the money on a belt when you could apply it to either a delete pulley or fixing the smog pump if your required to have it......
Really I was wondering if bypassing it would free up any HP. I was thinking of getting UD pullies and a shorter belt. If it doesnt, I'll just fix the pulley and call it a day.
dont need a delete pulley if you dont need it take it off. You can bypass it without any issues. just needs a shorter belt. do a search on here and you will find the correct belt length and the correct belt route. mine seized and I bypassed it. I left it in the pump in there for now but will probably yank it later.
