They were not power adders but they allowed more hp to be transferred through the drivetrain. I will google and see if I can find the article.
I really don't think the whp matters so much in automatics because of the torque converter. While it may soak up a lot of torque, it also multiplies it... there are some very fast automatics out there

LT1 and LS series cars aren't as affected by parasitic automatic loss because those engines create so much more torque than our 4.6's.

Which pulleys are better BBK or Steeda? Would they work well with the mach 460 sound system or would I have an alternator amp current issue?
