Anybody ever use them, or think they help like the Greddy Kit is suppose to for the SR? I know it doesn't add horsepower, its just suppose to free some up. BTW, this is for the eBay thread.

I got them, and they are pretty light, but you know, the factory was pretty light too though. Does add some bling bling, but mine are all dirty now. I havent had a problem with them, and I had them for about a year or so. Honestly, I did not notice anything after installing, but I am not good at seat off the pants judging.

I got em too, but my PS pulley came defective. When installed, it wobbled. So i just did use it. There is virtually no preforamce gains, but they are easier to clean than original pulleys, the dirt just wipes off the aluminum.

thanks for the answers.

Gabby, I haven't seen it discussed anywhere from searching on here and on Google, so i opted to find out for the others that may want to know later on.

Also, i was curious as on Horsepower TV the other day, a Mustang gained around 5hp on the dyno from a pulley kit, but again, was just curious.
