So, I don't understand what there is to understand or not about "these types of requests". Why is a suspension comparison a "better" request than a "power" comparison. It's fun and useful data.

Plus, I think a lot of people would be surprised how little difference more power makes as the percentage gain goes down. So, for me, real world power comparisons are very useful in determining where/when the cost benefit tapers off to the "not interested" point.
I think for many people, even car enthusiasts, they would be shocked to learn that a set of quality tires can shave seconds off lap times, or just pads and stainless lines can improve braking as much as it does. Most people don't have to be told more power means better performance, but they do for other mods like suspension.

In this case, the pulley is a no brainer. Sounds like most people would be getting double the power that the original kit adds with half to a third the cost. And at 350whp the power isn't so high that traction would be an issue. So a similar increase in performance proportional to the increases gained from the base kit is likely, unless someone couldn't use the power because of ability or because the track is a slower track (mostly twisties). Track times would be cool, but the results wouldn't be surprising is my guess.
