Pulleys: Unorthodox VS Stillen

darionlear · 02-16-2012, 07:47 AM

Okay, I'm on the cliff ready to order. Not sure if I want unorthodox or stillen. I want to do both crank and accessory pulleys and keep ping ponging back and forth between the two brands...

Anyone wanna give any insight?

Who here has, and what did you like, experience and benefit from your setup?

I'm running NST. No problems and simple install. NST is based out of Houston. Pics and video in my journal.

I've bought Stillen lightweight ones. I've spent a good amount of research and found out that stillen outputs slightly more power than NST's and Unorthodox. but you're good with either one

I went through that debate back and forth a million times..

Stillen only has the crank pulley, Unorthodox has both..

I my case I purchased the crank pulley first and later on I purchased the alternator pulley..

I went with Stillen for crank and Unorthodox for alternator.. If I had been in a position to purchase both at the same time I would've gone with Unorthodox..

Are you going to buy just lightweight, standard size or underdrive?

I want under drive and light weight.

I've completely opened up my exhaust from front to end and done my UpRev. My next mods are
Pulleys
Short shifter
And suspension

You did both? Mind sharing how much ? :-)

I'm curious too. Stillen is slightly more? Is that becuase it is 20% underdrive?

For those using Unorthodox, and getting the accessory pulley, how much of an increase does it bring?

Of the three, for crank pulley, which is the lightest?
