Question Advantages and Disadvantages on AEM Tru Power Pulleys

Anyone have the AEM Pulleys on their TL? Any noticeable gains? Any disadvantages such as low voltage from the alternator or degraded performance of the Air Conditioner?

From what I read...you get to VTEC quicker but as far as hp gain...very minimal, in the vincinity of like 1-2hp. You also gain some stiffness in your steering. Unorthox Racing is designing one with a crank pulley that is significantly more expensive...but supposed to yield a higher gain. I would highly recommend you going over to acura-cl.com and looking up unorthodox racing pulleys. We are still awaiting independent dynos as far as hp/tq.

I have been looking to get the tru-power pulleys as well and have been reading through numerous threads to see peoples opinions as well.....$130 isn't bad at all and it'll spruce up the engine compartment

from what i had heard fm my friend who had a 2001 prelude, no significance differerence in hp gain. pretty much just a look mod. however, the light will dimmer a bit when the car is idle but back to normal once u're cruising.
