it looks good. obx isn't known for outstanding quality, but that may only pertain to certain products, like their cat-back system. it has been discussed that underdrive pulleys may create a problem with the harmonic balancing of the engine, especially if you plan on going turbo. 10-15 hp, as they have it stated, sounds nice for $150. but i'm not willing to take the chance of messing with the crank vibration balancer at 6500rpm when i'm running any amount of boost. i'd rather up the boost for that 10 hp than risk it with a pulley set. but if you're staying n/a, then pulley's are a good mod.

ya know, the funny thing is that a crank pully isn't included in the set, or even listed on the site. From all the info on their site, all they have listed for the tibs in that set are alternator and power steering pullies. hmmmm....You could put together a whole set if you get those and a UR, SR, or AOS crank pulley.

He's talking about the accesory pulleys not the crank. There is no harm in getting those. The crank pulley is up to you. I have one. It's nice. wink

So do you think they are worth the $150? I don't know much about OBX really, I do have some of their Pedals, and their pedals were really high quallity, but then I don't think it's difficult to make high quallity pedals tongue.gif
Thats what I was thinking about was maybe the SR Crank pully, then this pully set, as I'm not going to be going turbo for awhile yet, and when I do I will probably hit up a secondary engine.
Anymore input on this kit would be great, also, is the beta I internally or externally balanced?
