just search for ASP pulleys, tons of info.

There is not a straight answer... some people like EVO, RennTech, Kleeman,

but it will yield gains that for sure.

ive read that when you Order the ASP pully, they modify your existing pully

where as evosport gives you a new one. The evosport pully is also lighter i believe

thanks for the inputs.

evo sport pulley is good but it costs almost twice as much. ($970 vs $1799)

In fact, those pulleys are damn expensive, and the manufacturers do make lots of profit, presumed they could sell 20 kits or more.

with Evo you get all the pulleys not just one like ASP.

do you your search...its easy.

don't take just one or two opinions...

call those companies... and ask the questions you have.

I did... Mike at Evo is cool and Lee at ASP too.

now you are talking.. you have done your research....

you see it was not that hard.

it used to be $650 and has keep going higher since then.

25 to 30 rwhp is what lee quoted, but does not have any dyno's to provide.

plus you have to pay a tech to install it. its about a 2 to 3 hour job if the car is cool.

topgun32,

Thanks for your reply.

I did a serach before creating this post, but all i found were old information, and no one mentioned the reliabilities of this pulley kit.

$970 is unreasonable I know, but see how evosport, carlsson and kleemann offer....they all are more unreasonable.

25 to 30 whp gain is impossible with just the pulley upgrade(boost up around 3psi), 20hp peak or 15hp thoughtout the entire powerband seems about right.

installation fee is a must no matter what pulley do i choose, unless I could DIM.
