Default How much hp from pulleys?

Generally, typically, roughly, whatever you want to call...how much hp will you get from set of underdrive pulleys? Say...BBK? They claim 10-15.

I got 8 RWHP with mine (car was dynoed before and after install of pullys) On average you will see between 8-10 RWHP with U/D pullys

I've always heard the same, pulleys give you back around 8-10 horsepower. Just Make sure you don't buy 'piggyback' style pulleys.

the BBKs he asked about are piggy back. hope you didn't buy them already. if you did, oh well. put them on anyway. you'll still gain some ponies back.

March offers a SFI approved dampener. Just ask when you call in your order.

Default RE: How much hp from pulleys?

why does everyone talk down about the piggy back style pullies? Why would they sell them if they arent any good? There are a buch of companies that make the piggy back style ones. I have them on my car and i dont see any downsides to them. Im just wondering whats the big difference is? is there that much of a difference in how much hp they make?
