What mods do you have now? Just curious because there are a few other cheap mods that may be more benificial. However...pulleys do help. They seem to be worth about .1 and 1 mph at the track. Others have claimed more but thats about my best guess from what I have seen.

I would like to know as well. I like my sound system in my 98, and dont want the alternator to have problems keeping up. I have a multi amplifier setup, and when it hits at night it already dims the interior lights and headlights. I'm all for cheap Power, but not if it takes away from my second love.

If u get a single pulley like BBK or hypertech you wont have alternator charging problems.. They are at 34% underdrive which isnt enough to keep your alternator charging everything..
cheap decent mod...

Get the ASP pulley setup. It has the underdrive crank pulley and an overdrive alt. pulley so the alt. is unaffected.

They are worth some. It definately couldnt hurt. The gains are anywhere between 1 HP and 10 HP... Im more on the low side, but thats what some have seen.
