I thought about throwing some pullies on for some extra horsies until I get the supercharger. Will I need to tune it again, or is it pretty much a straight-up bolt-on?

its pretty much bolt on. i have a 89 so it might be alittle different. i had to take my alt to a parts shop and have them put my pulley on for me (i don't have an impact wrench). other than that it worked awesome.

if your getting a supercharger than skip pulleys. you'll end up taking off your crank pulley and the wp and alt pulleys don't really do much after the u/d crank pulley is off.

I say go for it. Its an easy intall and you can return it back to stock very easily too when you go the s/c route. You won't need a tune either.

Hey when i put pulleys on my car it made a big difference with my 1991 w/an AOD. Plus its sooo easy to put them on, the only trick is take the alternator out and take it to a shop that has an impact wrench to get that pulley off. Plus you dont even have to tune your car again afterwards its just a direct bolt on.

Do pulleys make enough of a difference to really feel?

YES! Its probably the best Money to HP ratio mod you can do!

interesting how much hp and tq realistically speaking? Also, does it affect your power if you run something like a big stereo system?
