I just purchased RRM's pulley and installed it. It was pretty easy to do with the instructions given. Used a kawasaki electric impact wrench. The belt was a bit hard, I recommend having a friend.

Major difference for sure. Car feels simply lighter while normal driving. I'd recommend it

Take it from me if you want.

I am definently not a RRE/RRM FanBoy but when they make good products i will not be shamed to say so. I have own'ed 3 of their products and by all means the pully is the one i noticed the most and loved but for the others ehhh. I own a 5speed and you can just notice the revs go quicker and the car does feel overall lighter. It even makes me get into first gear easier.

I would immidiatly post any REAL con if i had one or ever got one.

I once had a hugh problem with RRM and their pully and it was not cool what it was doign to my car.

I was really neverous about trying another pully but i gave it a shot

well... i swear i saw something about hp when i bought this soooo i went to rrm's website and this is what i got...

It is made of aircraft grade aluminum and weighs just 1 lb. Stock pulley weighs more than 4 lbs. and robs h.p. from the engine just to spin it.
so in fact it does not create hp but it does regain the hp that it lost by the stock pully... fair??

Fair. And keep in mind things like light weight rims have the same effect

We can't answer that. "Worth" is an opinion. Only you can decide what's worth your hard-earned (or not) money.

It shuffles it all right. Into going faster! Compare it to taking 200 lbs out of your car, it still goes faster. Faster is what we want, whatever that takes. It will make the car faster than the T-ic.

I'd take that bet. The lightweight pulley would do a much better job of getting that HP to the wheels.

Just as an FYI for anybody who doesn't know...anything that spins on a car, make it as lightweight as possible...rotational mass reduction is your friend

The steering wheel spins, reducing the weight of that doesn't make it that much faster (lol, i know what you're trying to say tho, i just feel like being annoying)

NO bash just an example of speed vs. h.p. gain. Everyone needs to go to sensitivity training course. I am enrolling in one today!

Bashing would be "The Ti-C sucks!"

Rob was comparing a competitor's product. He didn't say anything mean or rude.
