Looking for a couple bolt ons and I've always heard mixed reviews on them so I never bothered. Is anyone running them? Any problems? Any recommendations? Thanks.

I don't like them because it usually slows the alternator down, Less charging. For the very minimal gain I say no way.

I've had the Steeda pulleys for years, and but for a little less charging at idle, I've had no issues. Some have attributed oil pump failures to these types of pulleys, mostly in cars that see sustained high rpm.

This last post is exactly what I was talking about.
The pulley thing was more of a old 5.0 days kinda thing. Cause those cars did the make crap for hp.
They would be claiming like 15 hp gains.
Who know if it really worked. Now a days you want more power just slap on a power adder all problems solved.

Ive had Steeda pulleys on my '96 as well for about 4 years, no problems, but I probably put maybe 1000 miles on the car in that time. I did feel increased acceleration, and they were not an expensive mod.
