I'm pretty sure a bigger pulley creates more electric power and more drag=less power to the wheels.A smaller pulley does the opposite of it.

They say that they're supposed to take away the stain on your car's electrical system and put more power to the wheels....why not buy an MSD or something else that makes up for the power loss?

There is a difference in size and weight. I put them on my Teg but there's nothing difference about the performance of the car. Like `92CXhatch said, replace all the pulleys and you'll notice something. Good Luck!

think about turning on a water faucet with a 1/2inch round (pulley like) object... if it were tight it would be pretty damn hard to turn on right???

ok now think about that will a 5inch object (again like a pulley)... now that would be easier... you can put more force on that object and get more leverage...

now think about your motor... it will be easier for your engine to spin the larger of the two and harder with the smaller one...

hope this helps for you guys to understand...
