crank pulley alternative
it seems that the claims made by motoblue about the 6's gains with teh 20% reduction crank pulley have been greatly exagerated. on a few sites i have read that alot of people are unhappy with the pulley because you dont see ANY increase in HP. i guess my question is this, i have read that a few people do a differant mod that gets them HP without spending teh money on a pulley that doesnt work. anyone heard of this and if so how can i go about doing it? thanks.

RE: crank pulley alternative
FYI, the RPM "Motoblue" pulley is the ASP underdrive pulley. Same "claims" from both people. Crank pulley alone will net you a tad, but not that much. Maybe it's worth 6 flywheel HP, which would turn out to 2 or 3 tops at the wheels. A full set of pulleys on my 99 Cobra only netted me around 8 at the wheels.
That said, the ASP/Motoblue pulley combined with the PHP alternator pulley, and you may see a bit more increase, but nothing stellar.
While I'm going with an RPM package, I most certainly haven't bought into "advertised numbers". I'll tune it myself, thank ya!

The PHP alternator pulley is good for about 3 to 5 RWHP... dyno sheet shows the gain:
Also... as far as A/C delete... why??? Just leave your A/C off? There is very little to be gained... when the A/C is off the pulley is just freewheeling... if you really want to you might want to call PHP.. LOL

RE: crank pulley alternative
PHP?! im guessing thats pauls high performance alternator pulley. does his website have that pulley at all or is it a special order part? being that i wanna go all motor every little bit of Hp i can salvage is worth it. its a hrder route but its goes to show what can be done before you ever add a SC or turbo.

Tip to combining both ASP and PHP pullies: Get a 200 amp alternator. Charging issues solved.

PHP Alt Pulley, I have it on mine. They also have a AC bypass and some other goodies:

Au Contraire, mon fraire. There's more to be had by deleting the AC, as in removing the AC compressor, dryer, lines, condenser. Considerable weight savings off the nose of the car. While there is only a little to be gained at the HP level, the gains in removing weight are just as important!

Ok.. when you say delete you mean DELETE! LOL! Ok... i was thinking just a bypass..
BTW... skip the 200 amp alternator... I had the PHP pulley on... we then added the ASP crank pulley and seen NO GAIN! Other shops have reported like 5RWHP with just the ASP pully... so.... you get the same gain with just the alternator pulley... and the alt pulley is cheaper and less $$$
