Pulley Kit

Hey I was wondering if these pulley kits are worth the money.
If I should spend my 170 dollars on something else please tell me.
The pulley is for a 91 RS serpentine.
The one I want is a March 655-4010 at jegs. Please tell me if this is a good little kit or if theres something better.

if you're looking for a power gain, skip the pulleys.

if you're going for dress-up, sure might as well get them.

It has been debated as to how much power you actually gain from those.


I would add a little cash to that and get some headers and a y-pipe. You'll see a definate gain. Plus remember, when you slow down your accesories you may see other problem like your alternator not being able to keep up and such. Especially if you have any other electronics.

Yea I have 2 subs and 2 amps in the back so i guess thats a no brainer. Well I was thinkin about headers but first Im gonna buy a posi (3.42) and then get headers. Also I want headers where I wont need any fabricating. Also is 1 3/4 diameter too big for my stock car? I have open element though

I believe that SLP are the only ones available. Expect to pay $$$ for SLP. They are a lot more than any of the others. Plus, the others will do just fine. My dad has the Edelbrock's. They have lasted more than 12 years on a blown 383, uncoated.
