Pulleys

i have heard that installing aftermarket pulleys will increase hp. Which pulleys need to be replaced? And how much will they affect performance?

Re: Pulleys

You will need to replace the under drive pulleys. Some say around 15 hp.

Re: Pulleys

Is it difficult to change out the pulleys? Will i have enough room to change them without pulling the engine?

Re: Pulleys

I think you will. I am not positive because I haven't done it, but I think it is possible. Look under you car and it is the pulley farthest to the bottom. I know in my firebird that I can fit a big wrench under it, it will be really tight on the though and you will need a breakerbar which will fit.
