Pulley set
 

Who makes the best set, and where can I get them from?? Are they woth the money ?? WHat are the pros and cons of installing a set of pulleys on my 01 GT

Steeda or ASP. Do not get a set of piggy-back type pulleys, where you have to mount the stock harmonic balancer crank pulley to the new pulley.
With the steeda or asp, you can later add the steeda timing adjuster.

All pros, no cons...as far as I can see. Good bang for the buck.

I just put on steeda pulleys and timing adjuster and they kick *** ! With the timing set at a conservative 13deg, it pulls much harder in every gear. I can roast 2nd gear for a full 20-30 ft further than my best efforts could before these mods. No track or dyno yet, but there are posts on this board that claim dyno increases from timing adjuster alone at 11hp. Definetely do the pulleys and adjuster at the same time, otherwise you will be paying for redundant labor.

Thank you, I was thinking about that anyway. It would make more sense to do both at the same time, I would same money also. I had a shop quote me about $500 for both plus labor. Does that sound resonable or should I keep shoping ??

Why can't you do it yourself? The only part you need an air rachet thingy for is the alternator, which you can just pull off and take to a local garage. They will probably do the pulley swap for free. Mine did.

The rest is cake. Should take 2-3hours max for both parts! I bought both parts for $310 shipped. Did the install in my garage w/ a small tool set.
