I just installed my pulley today, and I do have to say, anyone who has the money, and the time to install it (15-20 minutes lol) should definitely buy the RRM Pulley. You can really tell the difference in 1st gear, and 3rd gear really picks up some speed. It's a notable difference, so GOOD JOB RRM 
.
I also installed my RRM Rear Strut Bar, and I must say, my trunk looks really sexy with that add on. I'll post pics either later today or tomorrow. It's to hot right now to be stand outside lol.

I was also wondering if the bolt needs to be torqued or just put on as hard as you can go. and also do you need to re-turn the tensioner bolt counter clockwise, and does it matter how tight or loose the bolt is? is the tension automatically set correct once the bolt is turned back counter clockwise?

thanks 08icelancer!
I figured it was like that but I didn't think u had to hold the bolt. I thought you would turn it clockwise to get rid of tension then turn it back counter clockwise to put tension back on.
also ROCK I think you have probably answered this before but is there a reason you only did the crank pully and not a P/S and ALT one?

Those of you who have the pulley or RRM. What kinda of hp gains are you getting? Unorthodox Racing says they get 8hp-16hp gains with theirs. Thats a pretyy big gain. Is this what I can expect when I get mine? Once i pay off my tickets of course

you MIGHT MIGHT see those gains in the lower rpms, but peak .. I would be suprised to see more then 5hp on an N/A engine.. some s/c cars you will see way more.. but.. in that case your not only doing a light weight pulley .. if it's an underdrive too you you also are doing the same as changing the s/c pulley = more boost 
just a lightweight pulley (remeber RRM's isn't an underdrive) 5hp peak is great. you'll as said already see more in the lower rpms and your throttle response .. speed your engine climbs in revs .. then peak hp gains.
