I had the underdrive pulley installed. The cast iron one they pulled out felt like a BRICK compared to this 1/2 pound bad boy.
It took them WAY too long to put it on, but they ordered 2 different belts before they found the right size.... They had the car for about 4 hours, but I figure only an hour of that was actually spent on it.... It definitely feels like more low-end torque, but it could simply be the engine spooling. So hard to tell on these types of things. It's a worthwhile mod for the price though, definitely....On a side note, my other "RL" had a stage 2 intercooler and upgraded exhaust installed today....Now, talk about LOW END TORQUE!

Well all, just traded in the RL. It was a great car, but time for something new. I put up an original shop manual, as well as some other things in the Black Market if anyone is interested.

I traded it in on a 2009 CTS 3.6DI. Everything is still on it, so hopefully the new owner will stop by and see his/her car! I highly doubt they'll ever know the UDPulley has been upgraded, but the other upgrades are obvious.... I've enjoyed everyone's company here and still am very fond of the RL, it just didn't have the power (even with upgrades) that I was looking for and the constant small issues were getting on my nerves.

Good choice, Jay. I'm a big CTS fan. If I were in the market, that's what I'd buy right now. I am seriously considering a CTS-V, in fact. 
Just waiting for GM to get off their ass and give us the MSRP for the 2009.
Can you say 556 hp? I can.
