The only way you might get a benifit from putting a new pully set on is if you race and you need to underdrive your alternator/waterpump so they aren't turning to fast. Or if you want a serpintene (sp?) belt. If you want that you can it from atkins rotary (I'm pretty sure). But I'm pretty sure it's like $300+ dollars.


But anyways you will see no performance gains from lighter pulls, and if you have ever held you stock pully's they aren't that heavy at all. And the one's on the e-shaft are acctually 4 seperate pully wheels, so if you want to take the front 2 or (the AC/PS), you can, and leave the other 2 for the alternator/airpump (or both for the alternator...)

Anyways, there is no need for a new set of pully's especially sence most are underdriven.

On a mildly modded street car there are far smarter ways to spend money than pulleys.
