Stillen performance pulleys

Postby underworld1001 » Sat May 19, 2018 9:14 pm

Anyone have one of these -- https://www.stillen.com/catalog/product ... gory/1566/

I'm looking to get a little more power/mileage. Note that there is a lightweight one and an underdrive one. I'm not interested at all in the underdrive one, just the lightweight.

Yeah, I have one. Used it for a few months and then took it off. Still have the box. Didn't really notice any change in performance. Been meaning to put it up on Ebay and sell it but just haven't gotten around to it.

Did you have any issues with installation, vibrations, or anything like that? I'm curious if the lightweight pulley will cause any unexpected wear and tear.

No, it installed and worked just like the factory crank pulley, only a lot lighter and better looking. But performance wise, I didn't notice much if anything. Of course, I didn't put it on a dyno or make a timed pass with it.
