Oh shiznit! I almost bought the NST pulley but when I found out it might take power from my A/C I was like screw that! So how about this?

hey uhh... that tc has a CAI. that power gain may not be due to the pulley entirely.

anyway, yes oldman's opinion should be interesting! it convinced me NOT to get the DC header.

They did a baseline run with just the Intake(injen), header(alphawerks) before the pulley was installed, and another run with the pulley on, so they can tell the gains.

So this pulley is different from the NST underdrive pulley, correct? Will it affect my A/C?

No it will not affect your AC, I never seen or heard anything about the NST pulley. The AP pulley is the same size as the stock unit, but lighter. I'm not an engineer so I can't give you technical data.

It is ovbious that the dyno was on a 4sp. 140hp 141tq baseline with I,H is accurate for a 4sp.

The car is a 5 speed, the temp was around 90-100 F wich will take away some performance.

If you work on cars and know what you are doing I'm sure is not a very hard job, but I would recomend having a reputable shop do the work.

it's either torque or horsepower.



if its doing that much power addition to the engine, it's removing a lot more than it should from the accessories
