the only underdrive pulley worth buying is an ASP pulley/balancer, its not a cheap stack on....
with the march pulley you have to bolt that heavy stock pulley/balancer on top of the march underrdrive pulley.

you will gain more with the reduction in rotating mass

I dont have my stock pully on mine, I dont have any problems. I also have the alt. overdrive pully and it charges better now then it did before. Im curious, why do you say you need bolt the stock pulley back on? I have had mine on for about 6k miles and have no problems or anything.

under drive pullies and computer chip

What about BBK pullies they are much cheaper than march, and how much do you guys know about the jet performance chip (stage 1 for a 1994 Z28 auto trans)?

Good thing I saved it then. No vibrations from the motor or anything. Even have taken it to the track a couple times like that. Bummer I liked the looks of it that way. Better tell my buddy because he is running his Formula that way too.

I tend to believe that a LOT of people make that error..
The piggyback pulleys have to have the stock damper put on with it.. [that's why they give you the longer bolts..]

jet chip = not worth the money to me anyway.....
a website (cant remember the exact name right now) did a dynotest of the piggyback type pulley (bbk, march) and it showed very minmal gains.....maybe a couple of RWHP.

there is no test on the ASP pulley though, i would like to see it, many ppl swear it will knock off .1 to .2 in the 1/4.

jet chip

The jet web site shows a 23Hp gain when installing the chip on a stock 1995 camaro 5.7L Z/28, Does any one know of any one who has had a problem with the chip/does it hurt the car in any way?
