I'm planning on getting a lightened pulley but i dunno which one to get so i need some advice. I know currently there are 3 for sale one from non stop tuning, Unorthodox and Agency Power. Which one is the best bang for the buck? Which one is better then the other i need lots of opinions please!

Well i have an Agency pulley and im very happy with it. Its a lightweight pulley though... i believe that that underdriven pulleys(also weights less than stock pulley) release more HP than just a regular light weight pulley.

NonStopTuning aka NST has lots of options.

They have what they call the NST CR-Lite crank pulley which is a lightweight pulley. Same size as stock, just lighter. I think it weighs a little more than 1lb.

These are good for people who are supercharged because going with a smaller crank pulley would slow down the supercharger.

Then they have their famous Underdrive crank pulley that most people around here use. Smaller than stock to underdrive accessories and free up some extra power. This one weighs 14oz according to their website.

These are awesome for people who are n/a or turbo.

yea, If your gonna go with a lightweight I would suggest going with the NST CR Lite pulley. I have one on my car and could not be happier. Throttle response is so much better now and if you have a lightweight flywheel the combo is unbeatable. Gotta give props to Mike and the boys at NonStopTuning.com :bow:

lol, i like what IceNine said. i wouldnt even consider anything else. i recommend going NST all the way. I'm currently running the NST CR-Lite pulley on my car also. NST has been making pulley's for years. They definatly know what there doing. There pulley's are top notch, and you will have no problem with them.

Thanx Guys! But i have a few questions about NST that i couldn't find answers for on their page. What exactly is the weight difference between their cr-lite crank pulley vs. the stock one. Did they dyno it to see what was the difference in hp numbers? Also what colors do they offer the pulleys in! Sorry guys i'm one picky sob!

The following is from Mike, you can find him on AIM, NSTonAIM

1. OEM crank pulley = 59oz. NST CR-Lite crank pulley = 20oz.

2. Real world gains in most tCs seem to be 7-10hp for this pulley.

3. Special order pulleys are available in either silver, red, blue, graphite gray, or black.

He sais he likes hearing from people who post on SL so feel free to contact him on AIM with your questions :)

Hey guys was looking at the NST site, and they have a few pulleys: altinator, pump, crank... ect. Do you guys normally get all of em, or just one? If one, which one? Crank?

Probably a stupid question, but dont know much.

If one, yes the crank, and yes normally better results would come from the whole set of 3 pulleys.

No brainer, I've got NST pulleys on my ride and its been one of my favorite mods as far as value for my dollar goes. And like others said, if you've ever got any questions, just hit up Mike on AIM with any questions. Best customer service for an aftermarket company by FAR imo.

You can go to Autozone, PepBoys, or any other auto parts store for the belt. Just take your belt number and find an associate that knows what he/she is doing.

Two questions:

First.. do I NEED a new belt?

And second... for you NST guys out there... how long did it take you to get your CR-Lite Pulley? I got my aux pulleys pretty quick, (2-4 days) but im still waiting for the crank.

Any idea?
