3) "How do Unorthodox Racing pulleys give me more power?"
Weight reduction is how we are able to increase Horsepower! Each pound of weight removed from the crankshaft is worth approximately 2.7HP and the gains jump even more dramatically with forced induction, nitrous and variable valve timing." quote from UR website

At 2.7 hp per lb, across the band width, that makes Ricks set making 3+ HP - thats not the $60/hp that forced induction offers, but its not bad either. It would be interesting if anyone had a dyno on just the Ricks pulleys install. Only real way to tell.

Also the big difference between that and ricks was those hp rated gains are based on weight removed from the crank. Your going to get different ratings removing it from all the pulleys as a whole. The most i could see in a preformance gain on the ricks is 1 hp and a quicker rev. Like I said before. Very small gain.. but beautiful for aesthetics purposes.
