Default I searched it, no worries

Hey, just a quick question. I was looking up info about crank pulleys and I didn't hear anything good about them. My question is, after the chip, and the exaust, intake, what the hell else is there to do to the car for performance besides saving up for a K04 and an intercooler? Seriously, isn't a set of lighter pulleys worth the gain for a small project!?

That is it. It lowers slightly the rotational inertia of the wheel so the engine will spool up slightly faster off the line. If you are maxed out and you are looking to shave a few hundredths of a second off your quarter mile time, this is for you. Otherwise, not worth the money.

You might want to consider having someone port and polish your exhaust manifold. probably a better use of your money. Or just put the money toward your K04 so you can get it sooner.

Agreed, your money is better spent on other mods, put it towards a turbo.

Other good mods - new DV, better brakes, suspension components, etc.
