is it worth it? what gains are there and what losses are there??

Some people say there's a noticeable gain and there may be. Then again, some say the same about efans and all I noticed was better idle AC.
I'll let you know by friday.... ordered one last week, should be here monday or tuesday.
Gains should be in range of 5-10hp max. Slightly better gas mileage/acceleration.
Cons--lower A/c temps at idle. Slightly lower alternator output at idle, slowing turning water pump, etc

get it bro,less drag on engine.quicker rpms.
cant hurt... i guess

Anyone know what the charging differences would be?Mine has a pretty large stereo....
good question. my headlights dim enough as it is with two 10s and a 1000w amp and i dont feel like buyin a new alternatorOriginally Posted by broke1

I plan on doing a b4/ after with it. The way alternators work, there should be almost no difference. The alternator would just 'work' harder at idle to keep same voltage. It's not a permanent magnet device, so it should balance itself out...by theory atleast.

The trick flow pulley comes with a overdrive alternator pulley to help charging.
Step 1. crus at it.
Step 2. get a hammer.
Step 3. torch it.
i have the ASP pulleys, I have the volt drop at idle. I have a 06 so efans. the engine seems to spin faster i did not really notice a power difference since i added 10.4 wires, headers, catback at the same time along with a tune. over all there was a huge difference but cant say one or the other did it
