They may give you 3 to 8 hp gains. Not to hard to put on if you have the proper tools. Seems that the puller from previous years is not adequate, so you may want to read through the boards a bit to get familiar with the process. Or you can download some installation instructions from most of the sites first.

I've got a set and just have not had the time to install them. It's pretty high on my need to get done list.

Yes we thinkt he pulleys are worth it. I run them on my own 05 GT and love them. Not that the pulleys were 100% to blame but I went from 12.8@105 to 12.6@107 after installing the pulleys. My short time was a bit better and the air was pretty close both days. I dont think the pulleys were the entire reason for the improved ET but they did help. If you need a set we have them in stock.

Have fun! Sounds like you are heading down the right track with your car.

Yes they were 100% responsible for the .2 second and 3mph difference! Don't try to convence us otherwise darnit ( or at least that is how I am going to justify the price to myself!! )

But the real question is... how to get down to 12.8 in the first place!

Now that my friend I can answer.

To get to 12.80 I used ET street tires for maximum traction, I tuned it with our X-calibrator, C&L intake kit, and a set of Mac mufflers. That is it. Oh yah, I took out the spare tire. The biggest gains were from the X-calibrator and C&L.

Brent,
If I buy the X-calibrator and C&L intake kit from you, will it have the same tune on it? What octane fuel are you running?
