Unorthodox pulley....really worth it????
Alright guys, I already did a search but didn't really find what I was looking for.....I'm thinking about buying the Unorthodox pulley and was wondering if the gain in HP/torque was worth the cost. To you guys that have them, was it worth it?? Can you FEEL a difference with it on or what??? Anyways, any advice would help. Also I want to install it myself, is this a big deal? I already put on the groudning kit and I am fairly experienced with tools and such. THX Again!

I'm about to get my KJR. I went with this one because you can use the stock belts.
170.00 is not bad either.

u gain a little bit of power but it frees up a lot of weight.. rotational mass that is* and that will help the motor rev faster which is important.. i just ordered mine and i know it will make a difference.. compare the stock crank pulley to the UD.. a lot lighter.

I've never held a UR pulley in my and but my KJR pulley weighs 2.020 lbs. From what I have read, the UR weighs around 1.6lbs but like said above needs new belts. Stock pulley weighs 6.43 lbs

the pully bein "lighter" will mess with your harmonic balance. this pretty much means that your car will run real rough at idle only. Also all these aftermarket pully's will make your belts sqeal like crazy unless you get goodyear gaterbacks ,I think. but if you are tryin to get all the power outta yourmotor as possible then do it but it should be one of your last mods.also, try to get your crank re-balanced after.hope this helps
