Agency Power - Lightweight Pulley
So stupid me I thought I could cut corners removing my pulley without having something to counteract the rotation to loosen the screw... wasted my time pulling apart the intake, but then again - it's not wasted when I get to dissect my car
I bought the Agency Power Pulley and they even gave me the option for what color I wanted! Color?! BLUE?!?!! OK!!!! Got it today (fast delivery, faster communication!) and I have to wait until I can get my hands on a pulley removal tool... but I have to go to Mexico tomorrow for business but I'll be back to try again on the weekend!!! Also: Lost a screw bit in the bottom panel... will it fall out eventually while driving or is it going to rattle forever and ever until I get under the car? |

Cool. I personally like the look of the Perrin one but that's still nice.

Sorry I stand corrected Their baseline was 153whp 125wtq and a Pulley + Fly wheel showed a gain to 180whp 143wtq which is 27whp and 18wtq while adding headers, crossover pipe and full exhaust to that only gained 14whp and 7wtq I don't buy these numbers or any dyno posted by Vivid so I was curious if OP would dyno the part or confirm to deny these numbers.

You know what... That's a goo idea! I'm going to dyno the car before installing it and then a dyno after... I've only installed a K&N air filter in the stock air intake box - should be very subtle difference with that, so let's see how this turns out!!!
And for everyone to know... if you lose a screw under the engine bay... it WILL remain there - so that's good... I guess... but cause it's rolling around!!! |

Weight of the pulley is 1.0 lb according to their website:
http://www.agency-power.com/catalog/...vctnbdf3jjkao3 Perrin's crank pulley is 1.2 according to their website: http://www.perrinperformance.com/brz...z-crank-pulley But depending on where that weight is located they might perform about the same 0.2 lb difference when you include the weight of the rotating crank + pistons and flywheel is pretty negligible |

says 1.0lb, but their postings on it said 1.2lbs on their scale. I figured Perrin and AP are the same, just a matter of $5 give or take...

My car had a 7 hp increase in 4th over third. I'll also test my pulley when I get my exhaust done.

I got the AP pulley in red, installed it and the butt dyno doesnt really feel a difference, I could give a rat's ass about power gain's of less than 10hp because you wont feel it. What i do like is the revs climb and descend alot faster which is very noticeable from stock. I used to hate how the revs took a second or two to stabilize when you got off the throttle, now its alot better, but I think with the inclusion of a (slightly) lighter clutch/flywheel this car will have an easier to modulate throttle response. I'm used to my superbikes where you can rev to redline in about a second from idle and be back at idle almost as fast (with the clutch pulled in of course).
