Lets try to stay on topic here Zipper, i didn't even bother reading ur comment as that would give you satisfaction! enjoy! But like i said if you like the UD pulley fine! i have nothing against that, im just saying for me it's not worth spending the money on, im not telling u to not spend it, just for me its not worth it. But heres a a little love *hug*.

Exspecaly you AT people out there. Us MT can fudge it if you don't mind a jerky shift. AT is different, and the engine will shift faster, due to your RPM dropping at a considerably faster rate.
So, its not the all in wounder HP gain. It will allow you to get your shift thing on in a shorter amout of time. AKA accel added due to less time between gears.
Anyways, you see the HP gain at 4K. the peeks 20, but it dies add power. I love mine. Makes my car just that much more sporty. That and when I rev, it sounds normal, not holding out the engine as it spools down.
So you don't want it. Cool. We got the picture. You want horses. Who dosn't? The pully isn't a horse making peice in my eyes. It allows me to get my MT groove on, smoother, more natual shifts with a pasager, and if I can keep my lead foot off, save some gas. (just dropped 9Lb of weight off the crankshaft) For me, speeking for my self, it was well worth it.
I agree... I have an AT and that is the difference I'm talking about... It's nothing major... But, just enough to tell during accel... It was worth it... But, my gas mileage sux now

Wow, I derive no satisfaction. As it was, your also off topic. It was origonaly a problem removing the stock pully. If you want to start these little tiffs, then atleast argue from knowlage. I gave my reasons why I like the pully, but if you do not want to read them, or even argue from anything other then opinion, thats your progitory. Just do not put down a tryed and true product for the simple reason that it isn't a cure all HP producer.
As for the milage sucking, the common thing I hear around here is, to pull the power on the batt. Reset the EMC, causing it to adapt like new.

Hopfully because you floored it all the time cuz of the extra power?
When I had a SRI, exhaust, pulley, a bit heavyier wheels I was getting an avrg of 27.4mpg through several tanks. 90% city.. lots of sitting in parking lots and infront of houses (cuz my job). Shifting at about 3k rpm but lots of high revving to get through lights and stuff.
