[blakeoner]

hi all, just looking into this and was wondering if anyone has got this in there cars. it says to give you a 10 - 15hp gain on stock engines.
does it actually give you a noticable performance gain? is it worth the money? ( the ad is below )

It says 10-15hp. There's a few of the MACE fella's who have this stuff and say it goes alright, but i doubt you could even feel 10hp honestly.

[blakeoner]

thanks for the correction. so you reckon its not worth it?

[RiCeY]

At $300 Id say no, not worth it.

[blakeoner]

alright, cheers for the help

[RiCeY]

I only put one on mine because i got it for a carton of Coronas hahaha.

[blakeoner]

hahahahahha, thats awesome, get me one for a carton

[RiCeY]

Was pure luck that I got it haha

Could you feel any difference from stock? and would your battery charge up enough?

[RiCeY]

Hard to say if there was an increase or just convinced myself there was.

Havent had any issues with charging as the alternator still spins up more than enough to produce good voltage.

[blakeoner]

did it rev out any higher or faster??

I was looking into them, then i seen the price tag aswell.. not worth it for the money really is it?

[blakeoner]

i'd pay for it if it was a noticable diference, if you cant notice it, it would be a waste of the $$$ in my eyes

[impulsive]

Yeah i reckon, thats the way with a lot of mods people do too. Im not sure but is the qouted 10hp gain at the motor?

[blakeoner]

not to sure on that one, its probs on the motor. im gonna email them where the power gain is and if they have a dyno test with them on.

I've had one of these pulley kits for my VE for over a month now.

[blakeoner]

is it worth the money Z3RO? noticable difference is acceleration?

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

IMHO I'd say its a waste of money.

You'll be disappointed as u won't feel any difference.

Iv heard many say that up high you can feel a difference but how often do we drive our cars up high to really feel the difference. Lol

Just my say

[Z3RO]

is it worth the money Z3RO? noticable difference is acceleration?

I cannot fit this, it is still sitting in my cupboard awaiting fitting. I really want to fit it but I cant find someone to fit it for me.

[impulsive]

do it yourself?

[ivabiggen]

I have a new 20% balancer and gatorback belt in box,for sale cheap, PM me.

[Z3RO]

do it yourself?

I don't have a pulley puller or a clue which ones to remove. Someone have the tool and knowledge to fit it? They get a case of beer for this.

SOMEONE WANT BEER?? FREE CASE OF BEER PEOPLE!!

I may be wrong, but I think they just call it a slab these days. Then watch how many people say they "know" how to do it lol.

[impulsive]

go to supercheap and buy a puller..

I noticed a difference as soon as I drove off the first time. More so at higher revs. Accelerating just feels heaps cleaner. And noticed a slight improvement in fuel. Though for $300 I think its abit much. I paid $250 and installed it myself with bigjim and caprilicious. If you are chasing naturally aspirated power I reckon give it a go.

Sorry Capralicious. I disagree. If you don't like taking your car over 2500rpm, then I don't think the alloytec is for you as it's abit of a slug at low rpm's. Will probs take it off when I get the supercharger installed. Thinking it will probably won't work on a S/C motor. Thoughts? If not mine will be for sale as well.
