Really? Every post?
And you're sure you get it? Because you keep arguing that the engine revs faster...That tells me you don't really get it.
If you want to spend your money on pretty pulleys, fine. Just don't mislead the rest of the guys who are looking to actually get gains for the money they spend.

As I posted in the other thread...it's nothing you'd not have gained with a good tune - which anyone serious about making NA power is going to do anyway.
PLUS! they look pretty

Personal attacks don't change the data 
. I love how you keep trying to change the subject. Your posts are priceless, they make me wanna open my window and LOL so hard that the whole neighborhood can hear. Has anyone seen this "data" you keep talking about?

Doing a lighter pulley set is decreasing the rotational mass. It has nothing to do with the afr... If you see good midrange gains without a tune, you will still see an increase in power with one. The gains may not be as extreme because the vtec dip will already be gone, but it will still be a noticeable gain.

We're talking negligible gains here. Definitely within the margin of error for a dyno.
You're right, though, they do look pretty

There's not much mass, and a relatively short moment arm. If the stock pulleys only cost 5HP, and you free up 40% of that, you've gained 2-3HP. And that's assuming the stock pulleys cost 5hp and a 40% decrease in weight actually results in a 40% power recovery.

If anything, Manny proved that there's no difference in the revving of the engine.

I hope someone else can chime in and give some reviews. Been hearing good reviews from people who have 'em and bad reviews from people who don't..
any cons from this mod? Friends tell me lighter pulleys will make the A/C, headlights and just about anything connected to the battery "weaker". can someone confirm this?
