I have the complete pulley set from SR and you will feel a noticeable gain. Not a large gain, but a noticeable one.

I picked up the UR pulley from their website for $90. I was pretty happy with the overall results. It was not a huge gain, but I feel the car definitely runs better and pulls a bit stronger through all gears.

Search, it's been discussed. Many folks have had issues getting the SR set to install each pulley, and SR won't fix the issue. I'd get the J SPeed set if you can guarantee you are getting the right pulleys for your application. There are minor differences between the years.

i have a full j-speed pulley set. i say its worth it, not a huge gain but definately noticable especially in 1st and 2nd gear. it made 1st sooo much more responsive, and your car is gonna rev alot faster. i like them but wen i first intalled and went for a drive i didnt notice it right away.

oh and make sure you get the correct belt- with the new pulleys its gonna chatter and squeal in reverse and do all kinds of dumb sh*t.

Don't just buy a underdrive pulley. I installed an OBX underdrive and I can hardily even tell its there. I would go with the full set if I was you.

The only trouble I see with going with the whole set.. I have the Unorthodox Racing underdrive crank pulley. At idle with my fogs on, My lights will noticibly dim while the car is just sitting there. Not really a problem (how often do you need full lighting at idle?) but if combined with the full set, you might start seeing more noticible problems.

I will buy the OBX full set in 2 weeks..... but next week I will go to the DYNO.... so I will get a before and after DYNO readings with the pulleys.... just have to pay 70 bucks for three pulls on it....

Now... some friends told me that the "alternator" pulley affect the voltage and don't charge correctly.... it is true???
