So wait, are all pulley's a scam, then? A wasted mod?

You can color co-ordinate them with your shift knob and big wang.

But I enjoy being right and proving it. And this will give me many opportunities.

Cool. My condo is also pretty clean (just a little dusty). No dirty dishes or clothes scattered about, no stacks of beer cans or takeout containers. It just has a pool table in the living room and my TV room is the big bedroom while the small bedroom is where I sleep. And of course, sports car in the garage.

Here’s my honest answer to that topic. It used to be good mod, cuz older car did have very massive & heavy crank pulley. But modern day car have decently light pulley to begin w that, it makes almost no point upgrading just like ground kit.

IF & only if “weight” shaving is very important factor then yes, shaving couple pound of weight for cheap from engine is nice.

That’s my 2 yen

Why arguments happen is beyond me. This is a proper, good answer and it answers my question perfectly. Internet people must just like to be angry.

They happen because people believe differently. You accept that explanation but others will cites all sorts of weird and wonderful physics and "feel" that they say is the total opposite. It doesn't help that sometimes the marketing for these things can make it sound like it is some magic bullet for free power.

So what about drive shafts? Yay or nay? Aluminium or carbon fiber or does it not matter?

Better impact but still not massive when done on their own. Many of these things can work very well when combined with several different other items but individually they have limited affect.
To get racecar performance you pretty much have to build a race car and remove all the compromises that make a car effective as a daily. There is a happy medium but to do it right you have to be ready to spend some money and understand that you are just changing from one set of compromises to another. @Sapphireho 's car is a great example of a happy medium with a well thought out set up that keeps the car in both realms. I am sure he can tell you it wasn't done on a low budget though.
There is no magic shopping list of bolt on parts that will give you huge, cheap increases.

I'll have to check his out.

My goals are a full exhaust plus a tune. If I feel like, maybe the drive shaft.
