UPRev Pro Tuner in North East

Ive pretty much got all the bolt ons I am interested in at this point - those listed in my sig. Only other I am debating are the NST pulleys, but would those really affect a tune at this point?

I definitely agree that my first impression of Alex and their business was a positive one. Its amazing what a little friendliness and a detailed explanation of the product can do.

Talk to them about the pulley... You might make up your mind alot faster then you think.

There all gonna tell you its a bad idea installiing the pulley. Something about throwing the engine out of balance. Talk to them about it for more info because I dont remember exactly what it was. All I know is they do not like it.

I read a couple of discussions about pulleys for the car and it seems like the pulley is not a harmonic balancer for the engine, despite the way it looks. Replacing the pulley with a lightweight one with get you better throttle response apparently, and going with an underdrive pulley will net you minor HP gains from what I recall seeing.

Link to a thread discussing pulleys (in relation to the VQ37)

I sent a PM to the guys at Performance about the pulleys but havent heard anything back. Ive read through a bunch of the threads on the pulleys and the guys from NST seem pretty confident the car could even run smoother with it installed. Either way, Ill put that on hold for now until Ive gotten some more input from others who have them installed.

By the way, wanted to remind people that I will be going to Performance on Saturday morning. I believe they open at 9 and said to come in as early as possible (Ill try to come in at 9ish but depends on Friday night...)

A few NY/LI members mentioned they might show up, so let me know if anybody still intends to!
