Any thoughts on underdrive pulleys? Nobody makes them, kind of wonder why.
Question is wouldn't they make the engine theoretically "spool" up faster, or increase throttle response?
Just thinking of things I could do to get rid of the lag from the time I punch the gas and the time the truck takes off.
Had them on an '01 Integra and the thing "spooled" real quick vs. stock pulleys, that's my only experience with them.
I understand they reduce weight, less rotations (I believe), which reduces alternator output (not an underdrive pulley - I know) which may have me worried if I have 6 Rigid dualies and a 40" running at once (don't know the draw or stock alternator output). That's the only drawback I can think of. Less parasitic drag IIRC on the drivetrain with the underdrive pulleys or pulley kits.
Forgive my ignorance if I am on the wrong track here, I'm no expert.
