So the pulleys were finished up today! I didn't get to take any pictures because I was in class while everything was taken apart. I wanted to install these by myself so that I could see first hand how well they fit, but I just didn't have a breaker bar big enough to tackle this job. My mechanic did a great job. These installed with no trouble at all. I got to drive the car home, and ill do a little more driving in about an hour. My first impressions were that the car does rev up a bit quicker than normal. I put the car in neutral and did a couple light throttle touches to about 4-5k and you can definately tell pulleys were installed. I also did some WOT pulls and I'm very impressed at how well the car revs up even though these are only light weight, stock size pulleys, compared to under driven pulleys. I have had experience with under drive pulleys on my last Z and if I didn't know better, I would think that a set of under driven pulleys were installed. It's that great! I'm thoroughly impressed with this pulley set. There is zero vibrations, noises, anything. They bolted right on as my mechanic said with no troubles at all. I know the stock crank pulley is quite heavy, and I didn't have a scale to measure the GarageLine crank pulley, so maybe GarageLine can come back in and give full specs about their pulley, including price, weight, availability etc. like I said I will be doing some more driving to "break these in" and see if any problems occur, which I doubt they will. I will update this thread periodically to let everyone know how they are doing. Bump for a quality part!!! Thank you GarageLine for adding to the aftermarket support for these cars!!!
