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.

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!
