I have had it on my car for over a month and their has been no problems.

I just read my instructions that came with the pulley and it states, "follow the crank pulley removal procedures specified in the factory manual", for my 5AT. Anyone have any idea what the correct procedure is to remove the pulley on an automatic?

i can really feel the difference but then again i'm just wasting gas right now.Well, the reason i want to gain some HP's/Torque because im adding weight on my car like 19" RJ Inspyre and RJ Body Kit.... The car felt heavy when accelerating when i added the rims.. so, i wonder how much acceleration will lose when i add the RJ BK...

HTH.
I guess ill just have to get the AEM CAI 1st for now and go from there... what ya think?

I know they recommend gates. I cant give you the number off hand but it is in your directions. I couldnt find gates so I went with dayco and I have had no probs. The instruction manual for the pulley will give you the replacement number.

i just put the crank pulley on, along with the rsb and ct springs. little noticable increase with the pulley. you move through the rpm band a little quicker. i got it to 140 where i previously could only get it to 135 ( in the same distance). i like the suspension upgrages the best though, can cruise through the curves with alot less bodyroll.
and i cant notice any changes that the pulley has made to any other system ie a/c radio etc...

Suggestion...
Call around... Dyno sessions are $50-75 for a few pulls. It would be interesting to see the #'s.
On LS1 Camaro/Firebirds an underdrive pulley was worth .5-1.0 tenths at the track (13.2 vs a 13.3). The CAI gains that folks lead me to believe that a CAI worth 1-2 tenths as well providing you can hook. I would think a car with a UD pulley and CAI would hit 13's no problem.

After I put the pulley on I was able to get into the 13's on my first pass down the track.
