every vehicle acks diff. to this mod. my 4.8 lost some, and my 5.3 gained, another friend of mine didn't get anything out of his, but most say about 10hp.

the 5.3's seems to respond better to them, usually people wait a while to get these and use the 200$ on something else while they have options

its just one of my mods that i like most. my truck "feels" like it really responded to the mod....it probably made more of a difference on my truck because i have EVERY supporting bolt on possible and the pulliey was the last thing i did.

My experience with underdrive pulleys is the tend to yield more of a ET reduction then the seat-o-pants meter suggests.

I Am Satisfied With Mine. The Truck Feels More Responsive Under Part Throttle, Takes Less Throttle To Get Up To Speed, And Feels A Little Stronger Through The Rpm Range.
