only worth it if you buy one of those nitride pullies with the ballancer built in... other wise if it's the piggy back kind... it's a total waste money.

Re: Are pullies worth the money?
what makes the piggy back a waist of money and what makes the nitride pulley worth it?

I see nothing wrong with the piggy back underdrive crank pulley. It keeps the stock balancer while driving the accesories slower, saving you power. I had one on my last engine, but my ATI damper is one piece so I could not reuse it. I have it for sale if you are interested in it Matt

I've used both setups. I didn't notice anything really untill I went with the one piece.

What's a "nitride" pulley?

.... or do you possibly mean "integrated" pulley/damper?

Its just the same. Its a billit underdrive pulley. I cant believe they claim .1-.15 seconds in the quarter

There was definantly a noticable difference between the two versions. Every gain counts, not to mention it's allot more pleasing to look at under the hood.

"Nitride" is the finish they apply to some of their pullies.

LS1's gain more HP because they have a belt driven water pump.

Re: Are pullies worth the money?
man you guys get so technical about every thing. I just called them nitride's because I forgot the name of the actual pulley. I installed it almost 2 years ago.
