Default AEM Pulley Question?

Do the pulleys actually do what they are suppose to do? Are they worth getting?



AEM Tru-Power pulleys increase power by reducing the parasitic drag caused by factory accessory pulleys. Our lightweight pulleys reduce rotating weight and are slightly oversized to maximize efficiency, which nets more horsepower at the wheels. We guarantee our pulleys' belt tooth profiles to match O.E. specifications, eliminating any chance of premature belt wear. Comprehensive installation instructions, replacement belts and AEM decals are included in every kit.

i usually do not recommend pulleys...unless they are harmonically balanced. they'll do more harm in the long run than good. FLUIDDAMPER makes harmonically balanced pulleys.

I was thinking that, but I've heard that was more of a problem with accords.... or at least the crank pulley :dunno:

they never seemed like they'd do alot of good unless you've spent a butt-ton of money on the engine already.... but thats just my opinion....

Stole the words out of my mouth :shocked:

It's True. I considered getting them, Unorthadox is right near me, but the con's out-weighed the pro's.
