i just wanted to know if changing the pulleys would harm my engine (cuz i already heard that) is it a good buy or should i just leave them as they are ( factory)

thx

they won't hurt your engine, but you're gonna have to get used to shifting relatively quick..well quicker than stock pulleys. lighter pulleys bring down your RPM faster.

and it lets it rev up easyer as well. go for it!

also it will drop your volts as i have a volt gauge and it reads 12 at idle now where as before the pulley it was 14 and my lightts got a bit dimmer until i put HID's in LOL

i always heard bad things so i stayed away

they arent bad, the only thing is they drop your voltz, so things like your lights aren quite as bright, but that can be fixed w/ brighter lights like celistyle said.

pulleys are for faster revs up and down.. you are thinking flywheels... pulleys are for less parasitic losses to alternators and ac systems and things like that...

personaly i don't see it as a wise upgrade and wouldn't do it if i had the chance (and didn't)

they won't harm the engine but the electronics will pull the energy and from a lower charge system thus leaving less for spark and such and that's never good. also the accessories are set to spin at a specific speed so changing that will take them outta spec.
