Stock. Guaranteed not to mess anything up, with a warranty to prove it.

There have been plenty of these debates. This will probably end up getting ugly and get locked up.
I am unsure if anybody can say if one pulley or set of pulleys can be better than the other because they havent really been tested against each other. The one thing that can be compared is the service that is associated with the product. So far everybody says NST is a great company that responds quickly to orders. Never the less I ordered the ZPI v2 a couple of months ago and im still waiting with no regrets. Whenever i call ZPI they are happy to give me any updates oh my order status. Many disagree but i still think ZPI is cool.

All thoes pulleys are great and you will feel a difference from stock. Just depends on how much money you want to spend and how much time you have. Do a quick search and you'll see what im talking about.

NST! no question about. just like Kumitsu said, i havent heard one negative comment about there products or customer service (the best i've ever seen). they have been in the business for a while now, and they aint going nowhere. you can trust on gettin a flawless pulley from them.

NST hands down man. All they do is pulleys, and not just for the tC but for many different models. They offer every kind of pulley you may want for the tC. Stock sized crank, underdrive crank, alternator, water pump, supercharger. They design all their stuff, they are performance oriented, and they have awesome customer service.

If you want the most gains possible then you should go for their 3pc underdrive pulley kit Go with the pulley specialists and go home happy.

hey, I got a great idea, talk to Mike at NSTonAIM and have him explain the benefits of each of their pullies that they offer and then see which would be the best for you

Go with the NST underdrive crank pulley if you plan to be n/a or turbocharged. An underdrive crank pulley will give better hp and throttle response gains than the other pulleys.

Get the stock sized crank pulley if you plan to supercharge your car or if you just want some more bling under the hood.

You can also use the alternator and water pump pulleys for more weight reduction and more blingage and you can use these with either the underdrive or stock sized crank pulley

Technically, none. It's the same as putting a lightweight flywheel on your car, only there's no danger with the flywheel. You're not adding horsepower, just freeing up what is lost in the drivetrain. A dyno will read more, but it doesn't really exist. That's why you can swap wheels and tires on a dyno and gain 20 horsepower.

again, I need to emphasize the fact that I did not get this pulley with intentions of netting a lot more whp...The pulley will do exactly what I want it to do with the aid of the flywheel, free up parasitic drag, in result helping the supercharger spool quicker.

I sell NST as well as use NST pulleys. I have used them for years, long before I became a retailer. Top notch product, top notch customer service and the best shipping around. While people are getting grey and wrinkles waiting on zpi, the people that order NST are having a blast enjoying the product. Also underdrive hands down for anything but the sc. Physics do not lie man, UD is the way to go.

You MUST buy the ZPI pulley for two reasons:

1. They will never ship you anything, therefore,
2. You run absolutely NO risk of blowing your warranty by using an aftermarket part.

When you get sick of that, buy NST.

"ZPI. There's just zero point."
