Super underdrive pully's work better and also make 25+ more hp that regular ones. I also hear the red one's make 2-5 hp more.

Your lucky if you get 5hp gain....The only thing these Underdrive pullies do is
Save you a few pounds.

A buddy of mine put them on his 05 350Z and it messed up his crankshaft in some way.....I would not get them, Invest in something else or save up for FI.

Can you offer more details on your buddy's crankshaft? That would be the first ever instance of this happening in the history of VQ's underdriven. I call BS

These are stock diameter, thus not underdrive, but they are much lighter than stock and some gains can be seen from them. By keeping the stock diameter you can use OEM belts and you don't have any issues with cooling or loss of alternator output.

there is no way you are going to make 25 hp on any pulley unless its a supercharger pulley and you are going smaller. I noticed faster revs and thats about it.

Yeah, there was a definite hint of sarcasm in his original post. It's funny to me that people are taking that seriously.....but you know what they say....if it's on the net it must be true.

I have a Penske Underdrive Pulley on my G and it's making 50+ hp. I should have gone with the pink one, because pink adds an additional 20 hp.

I've never been a fan of underdrive pullies. I put them on my celica when I had it and my alternator crapped out.
