Or is that a bunch of crap. If there ok to use whats better Esslinger or ASP Underdrive Pulley? Im getting the belt tensioner replaces so why not do both in one shot!

Someone on Focaljet did a test of the AEM and Esslinger pulleys. Same car, same day. Esslinger made 1HP more which basically shows nothing. That can be explained by error. The ASP is considerably heavier and not as small as the Esslinger or AEM. So of those three (I introduced AEM)... Get a Esslinger or AEM, whichever you find the for the cheapest price and the prettiest color. Save Contour.org -- Donate Now! Announcement Mailing List
