Whooh! people are jumping around on this like crazy! This is my best at getting things straightened out. Ok of coarse a pulley kit won't increase boost do you know how a motor works? Pulleys have been known to throw off harmonics and wreck bearings. Pulleys also are very bad for people trying to run extra stuff electrically such as amps for stereos. Some one had checked their electrical current... was that also a load test? The fluctuation may be small but at higher revs becomes much greater. Over time wrecking your alternator. I'm almost certain the life of your alt. will be cut in half.... "but mine is fine." I know I'll here this yes I was guessing about half life or less more likely less. Say your alt. lasts 10 years normally 100k miles I'd almost put money on the fact that you will get another 30-50k on it now, not 100k. It is interesting about the power steering and I can see how it would help. Remember this is on track cars that this would benefit and they usually have less extra electrical stuff than you would have on the street other than af computers and things. 10-15hp that has to be an @ the crank "claim." You will feel more power in the throttle with pulleys thats not the argueement. Now lets look at the other side of the crank. I would hope everyone on here knows whats on the other side but if not... its your flywheel. I want to say its about 30 freaking lbs! I bet you can find one for 15lbs or less. Think that would be a better weight savings on your rotational mass? Best bet go all out get a light weight fly and pulley kit, strip your car down to a hyundai, track your car like a champ and buy alts. once every year. Oh and pray the part doesn't cause the dreaded gingivitis oops, I mean RMS. Know one worries about RMS do they.
