So last week my friend and I installed our new Steeda Pulleys. Unfortunately I haven't driven my car much since then, but we didn't seem to notice the big-huge-difference that some people claimed to have. I figured I should have gained around 10hp, and I DID notice that I am spinning the tires a lot more now, but what are your thoughts on this?? Is it more "hype" than anything else?

Gimme your $.02...

Thanks,
~Brian

If you're spinnin the tires now, the extra power you got from the pullies is going up in smoke [Smile]

Very true... Did I mention that I need new rear tires, too? [Big Grin] Was thinking about getting 275/45/17's... Not sure which brand to get though... [Frown] But outside of the tires, I didn't notice much/any increased throttle response with the new pulleys... What gives? [Frown]
