as civicdrivr said, it just releases some that the stock pulley takes away. so yes, your are getting about 10 more hp.

So what u are saying is that a lightwieght crank pulley gets more of the HP from the crank down to the wheels..So it does not add hp to the crank BUT DOES add hp to the wheels, where it counts!

The idea behind the pulley is weight loss. When you take the stock crank pulley off it weighs significantly more than the aluminum pulleys option and unorthodox offers. The lighter weight allows the pulley/crank to rotate at a greater rate. Just get the option racing pulley a bunch of members are running them with no issues. You'll definately feel an increase in throttle response.

No prob ... I don't think he was grasping how the pulley worked and it's benefits.

Perhaps you have info backwards rajca.
This came from progress.


4. THIS IS AN ADJUSTABLE SWAY BAR. THE HOLE TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VECHICLE IS THE SOFEST SETTING. CHARACTRISTICS IN HANDLING HAVE BEEN ALTERED, USE EXTREME CAUTION DURING DRIVING

Yes I was wrong before. The rear hole is the stiffer setting. I also didn't have any paper work as to which hole was what on the sway bar. Later on I did some research and was wrong before

Just wanted to be sure and also pass on what I found.
Have you tried using stock sway links ?
I don't have any new links yet but,I wanna slap on my new sway.
Should I just wait to get some new ones first ?

What are the best links to get ?
I don't think I need adjustable link just heavy duty one's.
I don't know if the moogs are our only choice or not.

Anyone upgrade the brakets ?
