Yes this is a good point. I'm willing to throw those pulleys on my NX because engines are inexpensive. VQ's aren't quite so easy on the pocket book

 

Thanks for the info guys. I've decided there are better mods to spend my money on than pulleys.

 

The engines i've tossed pullies on have a separate dampener on the crank, so it's never been an issue for that particular motor I modify. But like i said, in addition to the pullies, i had to upgrade the cooling system and electrical system to counteract the slower belt speed.

 

Glad I read this post. I was recently thinking about pulleys... Now my mind is on Cams...

 

i would never spent 400+ on pulleys even if i did have the money lol
