View Full Version : Power Pullies installed last weekend
///MD 08-12-2006, 03:25 AM Got my power pullies (accessory only) on last weekend. I was hoping to use it as an excuse for a DIY and have some guys over but I just needed to get it done. Took all of an hour once I got all my tools together. Air tools made all the difference.
Drives great! For some reason it made on/off throttle smoother and it feels quicker in throttle response. Butt Dyno detects a tiny increase in hp, more at cruising speeds than low end acceleration. I like it, definitely worth the money.

Gene V 08-12-2006, 08:48 PM which pullies did you install?...I did the VPD ones sometime back had am very pleased with them...
///MD 08-14-2006, 05:29 AM Same here.
Great minds think alike, eh?
Great product, excellent price too!
If anyone is thinking about pullies, get the VPD's.

Victory Product Designs... They make mods. Much less expensive than some of the others and just as good.

Cheapest Dyno run you can get. Some are more sensitive than others and therefore more accurate. I think it depends on age and weight. Also if you use moisturizers regularly. It can also be biased by what gains you want/expect to see. Just go in the bathroom, bend over and pull your pants down in front of the mirror. Good old fashioned seat of the pants!!!

I have a GT1 that I've never used. Also had a Gtech.
