I would say that it results in the power getting to the ground "easier". I did not make any legitimate power.
I did 3 back-to-back baselines, Installed Pulleys and Made 3 more runs... No real life gains.
Same dyno, same day (within a few hours).

I totally agree with the crank pulleys fusing.. I know of this happening to 2 local z owners who were both boosted.

A note for FI z owners, would be to read up on harmonic dampeners when considering crank pulley replacement...
