pulley question
Ok here's my question....
I bought a TB/plenum package from a guy on here (forget the name) and he threw in his udp's for free. They are March performance. The TB/plenum work great. The crank pulley however was a little beat up so I didn't want to take the chance. So what I did was I put on the new alternator pulley and the water pump pulley and left the crank pulley alone. I changed the belt with one that is 4 inches longer. Am I completely defeating the purpose here or should I see some hp gains with only installing 2 of the 3 pulleys? The crank pulley didn't really look that smaller than the stock so I figured it really wouldn't make that much of a difference. What do y'all think?
Just a side note... the crank pulley that he threw in had the threads stripped that hold it into place when you tighten it.
