Default Time for U/D pulley

Alright i have the money... so now i just gotta buy it. Ive had my heart set on the H.O Motoblue 42% Crankpulley. They have performance packages on rpmoutlet.com and Option A is "The pulley kit" ( heres a link http://rpmoutlet.com/newv6m.htm) Option A: THE PULLEY KIT (99-04 only)

Featuring:

MOTOBLUEâ„¢ H.O. Water Pump Pulley
MOTOBLUEâ„¢ H.O. Billet Crank Pulley
MOTOBLUEâ„¢ H.O. Harmonic Balancer
GOODYEAR GatorBack Belt

Adds up to 14+ RWHP
(add up to 4% fuel economy)

Part# MTB380011 $ 199.95

So by billet crank pulley i guess they mean the 42% crank pulley right? when i click on the price it takes me to the page where it explains what this is and talks about the underdrive pulley and then shows pictures and what not but when i go to the bottom to where you actually order it. It shows this

MOTOBLUEâ„¢ H.O. PULLEY KIT
MOTOBLUEâ„¢ H.O. Water Pump Pulley
MOTOBLUEâ„¢ H.O. Power Balancer Pulley Kit
Correct GOODYEAR Gatorback Belt
Adds up to 14+ RWHP(up to 4% fuel economy)


So where did the billet crank go??? i know the water pump pulley does nothing at all the actuall crank U/D pulley is 179.99 on its own and hte gatorback belt is 39.99 so it becomes more expensive that way. I would rather get the one for 199.99 but the original "Billet crank pully" advertised in the option A dissapeared where the ordering is. Has anyone ordered this Option A before and did it come with the 42% crank pulley?


Sorry for the long question but i wanna make sure i get the right thing. Thankss!

ive actually heard a lot of bad things about rpmoutlet. i was planning on buying some stuff from them but a lot of people on here have had some big problems with them. one guy even posted a link to a guy who filed a claim or sumthin to the bbb. i have heard to much crap to trust them. jmho.

edit: just go to autobadges and get a pulley and belt from him. i dont usually promote him a ton like 3/4 the other guys on here but i do trust him and his buisness and have heard nothing but good things from them.

Well thank you for that honest referral!

We have the ASP pulley and belt for you. Its basically all you need for the power you want. The rest is useless!

Ive got the pulley kit off of Rpmoutlet, and havent had a problem with it at all. Im not trying to get Autobadges less money or anything, so dont be mad.... Anyways, I like Rpmoutlet, and would suggest getting the UDP from them.

Oh by the way, when clicking on the option, the Billet crank pulley isnt listed because it is part of the power balancer pulley kit. The Harmonic Balancer goes with the pulley, so no, it hasnt disappeared.Its basically the same thing, just worded differently. If you do get these, i have to say one thing, They ship ship separately so you wont get it all at the same time.

First of all you will not gain 14rwhp, probably gonna be closer to 6-8 rwhp, if that, with a u/d pulley. The set RPM sells isn't bad, but aside from the crank pulley, the belt, and maybe the harmonic balancer, the rest are totally useless, only thing they're good for is bling and dress up factors, that's it. I've had serious problems with rpm so I do not reccommend them, granted this may sound a little one sided, but get your pulley from autobadges. Granted it's only a 24% as oppossed to a 42%, but that difference is gonna make a minute difference.

actually its not completely right. The estimates they give you have no idea what the car has, what else they did (tune the car), car may have had more mods, the tune day may have perfect weather etc. They just give the MOST POSSIBLE for the sale. The pullies do give you rwhp, but not 14 thats for sure I can tell you that and I sell pullies. But again all you need are the crank and belt

just like a cai gives you 15 rwhp....not to mention that 15 rwhp is a LOT more than crank.....every car is different TRUE but answer this...i have a gt right....ok so if all these mods supposedly give you 15 here and 20 here then why the hell is my car not at like 340 or so.....i mean think about it, with a completely bolt on v6 or gt you NEVER get the advertised hp.....on paper it works, but in reality is sux
