Ummm... Even if you think the torque converter is a huge loss in power (in reality it's not) dropping rotational mass is still only going to help. If you have to fight the fluid in torque converter and 100 lbs of mass to spin, and you change the equation so you have to fight the fluid in the torque converter and only have to fight say 90 or 80 or 70 lbs of mass... Does it help to have dropped that mass? Rhetorical question.

The same could be said on an MT or AT.
The point was that incremental drops in rotating mass won't help as much as you're making it seem like they do. And the tiny fraction of a difference the torque converter makes compared to the MT, you could again say the same thing you said... The point was that incremental drops in rotating mass won't help as much as you're making it seem like they do. I guess my opinion is - if you are contending these pulleys make no difference or minimal difference on an AT or MT, maybe that is true, I haven't run them. But I would say I'm a very firm believer in dropping weight, especially rotational weight. If you are trying to say these pulleys make a bigger difference on an MT versus an AT, maybe, but I woudl think it would be so imperceptible that the diff would not be noticeable. I'm done, I'm not going to fight about AT versus MT. It has been beaten to death. The pulleys look great. |

Heavy fluid filled torque converter vs. flywheel that you can replace for a lightweight piece; that's where the most difference in feel will be had from dropping rotating mass.
Enjoy your delusions. /out |

OK, I will enjoy my delusional state that a torque converter somehow renders dropping rotation weight as a pointless exercise. I guess lightweight wheels, lighter drive shafts, lighter pulleys are all pointless modifications on a car with a torque converter. Thanks for all your wisdom on this topic I do appreciate it. /out

That's a good theory. Nice. The CEL engine everyone is talking about is about the pulley being so light that the crank sensor would read twice and thus throw a check engine light. |

Good news guys,
GFB will allow customers to purchase the two accessory pulleys for anyone that already has the crank pulley. MSRP: $190.00 for the two pulleys. |

It is the outer mass that does the damping, it is that mass that is tuned. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the product, but that explanation is just wrong.
