Question on pulleys
 

I'm considering buying a set of pulleys for my car (weekend car use, trackday/autocross every couple of months).

There are sets of 1, 2 (Perrin), 3 (Buddy club, raceseng) or 5 pulleys (raceseng). How much extra benefits do I get from each of them?

Every seller out there has info on the benefits of the lighter pulleys, but what I want to know is the downside of changing the pulleys.

Today I found out:

"This pulley kit is designed and intended for motorsport applications. Running the air conditioner and headlights at idle can cause an insuffieient battery charge."

Anything else I should think about and consider before buying?

This subject has already been done to death.
I will summarize it for you:
1/ OMG!! This mod has released at least 40 megaWatts and now I can beat Veyrons from the lights.
2/ This mod is a waste of money and you would be better off going on a diet.


A search on these forums of "light weight pulley" would have given you these results in addition to the link above. This is not the full list.

That is funny. I was just commenting the other day at the vintage car races.
People spend thousands of dollars to shed a couple of pounds from their car, then you see a 280 lb man squeezing into a spitfire.

I did a search for pulley. and saw hundreds of posts. nothing had a title that was easy to clue me in on the topic.

thanks guys

Not worth it. If you go with induction or some other real performance improvement it isn't going to care about those pulleys. Also, there is a reason some things have mass. There is a reason a tuba sounds like a tuba and a piccolo sounds like a piccolo too. Just my two cents. Some folks love them.
