Pulley systems, what are they good for and worth the money?
I came across pulley systems, what do they accomplish and worth any investment?

Crank pulley? Some say it increases responsiveness, some say it eats bearings. No one knows for sure, you will undoubtedly soon be shown a years old quote from "some dude at SOA" that claims the stock crank pulley is in no way a damper.

Expensive bling that dollar for dollar is probably the worst investment ever, and it's not even visible 99.9% of the time.
(I have no ill will against companies that make the parts (well, maybe the crank pulley) simply because there is a demand for the parts so they meet the demand.) |

I actually asked the same question and good some good replies, that said.... A LOT of people said it was great, a lot of people said it was bad, and a lot were unsure. I personally ordered mine and am waiting to get it installed so we'll see. I have a link to my build thread, you should subscribe to it as I'll post when I get them installed and what my thoughts and progress is.

I had the Perrin pulley installed and maybe, just maybe I could tell a difference as I left the workshop where it was fitted. Then again it may have been my mind trying to convince myself there had been an improvement. Another gentleman on these forums suggested there was a more noticeable difference when the aftermarket pulley was removed and the original put back on. The people who claim "zomg!! the car is now 15 seconds faster to 100" I think are kidding themselves.
It is a cheap mod. There might me an improvement. There is definitely a search button.

 valid question , I really don't have any opinion on the subject except the less rotational mass on my car the better. Not going to bash something till I try it.
