a lot of people have it.

although, I would get it from our vendors; Excelerate performance and or Heeltoeauto.
you should opt for the stock diameter pulley, instead of the underdrive pulley.

I got it via EBAY. I did not dyno the car before I put it on, damm, for that fact I have not dynoed the car after any shit I've put on it, so i cannot say if it increased any power! What I can tell you is that the Unorthodox Pulley is way lighter that the factory one, I mean way lighter!

the stock diameter UR pulley is 1lb as opposed to the stock Acura pulley at 8lbs.

This is a matter of opinion, get what you want. I have fought about this for countless posts but figure out which would work best for what you want.

No, lets not. I've seen that pissing match one time too many.

No. You'll see a decent increase in first gear, and then much less in each subsequent gear, to the tune of maybe a couple whp on a dyno.

I find it quite interesting that that Jester guy joined this forum just to make six posts in that thread ripping apart Dave B.

as said quite a few people have them on this board







as far as 10-14 hp additional LMFAO; i would imagine MAYBE 5 hp; remember manufactures do like to exaggerate claims at times
