if your looking for ponies, even if a little lighter, i dont think the extra $40 or whatever for alum pullies is worth the extra 1 hp gain, if even that. get the steel, unless your going for looks, then its alum all the way........

I agree with these guys, the lighter the pulley the less stress on the components ( water pump bearings, PS, Alt, etc. )
