Underdrive pulleys--which ones should I get??
I have an 87 LB9 with 700-R4 auto and I'm looking for some new underdrive pulleys after reading on http://www.thunderracing.com that they can add between 12 and 15bhp!! They have loads from 2 different manufacturers March performance pulleys and Auto Specialties Performance. Which manufacturer should I go for and then what series of pulleys would be the best?
Also, with my future mods in my sig how much extra hp will I get and how much off my 1/4??
Thanks for the help.

I would say that you should save your money, but that's just me. I've got a set of the Hypertech ones on my car and I didn't notice any difference (didn't take it to the track or anything, just judging by SOTP).

yea.. there was a post here a while ago, i mean a long while ago, about march pulley's.. i believe there were btw 5 and 10 people who ahd them, and none of which were impressed with them, given the amount of money they spent. they all said put the money somewhere else, and get the pulley's later.. i dont personally have them, but i've seen all the ad's and all the claims, but ive talked to a good number of people who have them and say they dont notice a bit of difference
