HarleyBoy,

Don't use pully's if you're going to be towing or putting in a system (or anything else that will take up more juice from your alternator).

Which PowerAid product are you talking about? The Throttle Body spacer? JUNK

Harleyboy,

Sure, it will give you a power increase, but as Jaxharley said, HP gain will be in the upper RPM spectrum (where it is virtually useless). You'd be better off spending the money you would use on the pulleys on something more usefull (As in twin 16" electric fans). Electric fans will do the same thing, but in a different way. You will lose the power-robbing clutch fan assembly. this will add between 7-15 HP in our applications (yet to be dyno'ed).

Mike

There was a posting on using an electric fan from a late model Crown Vic, but I can't find it. Only problem with that is, no fans in the junkyards, everyone is using them on their trucks....Rube
