As far as I can glean AP is the preferred set (well only main pulley actually) cos they are OK and pretty cheap for a small minor effect mod.
People who are really fanatical have got other ones too, and most people seem happy if not whooping for joy.

You aren't going to gain 8-10 hp. 1-2 is more like it.
The UR set looks real nice, but its rather pricey, and you aren't going to get much better performance.
I have the Agency Power crank pulley. I didn't notice any power gained in the "butt dyno", but I wouldn't expect to notice 1-2 rwhp anyways so I wasn't dissapointed. And its only $125 bucks, might as well, it's cheap.

a total waste of money, 1-2hp is not worth a penny. you wont see a difference in any dyno. take 2 identical cars, one with pulleys and one with none, neither will pull on the other. temperatures, a big dinner, or even tire pressures have more affect then pulleys.

Conclusion was that there was a good 1/2 car length gain on the 3rd + 4th gear pull up to about 100mph . This would suggest the 1-3 hp figure is about right .
The AP is the cheapest & will give as good if not better gains than the others so thats the one I went for .

hmm thats very surprising. any video of that?
on a type-s, a thicker intake manifold gasket net's 1-2whp proven on a dyno. but never once does anyone say it will pull on one stock type-s or another. hence why i dont have it in my list as a mod added.
i would think 1-3hp is equivalent to a 100lbs or less passenger which would do little to nothing. in fact, adding a cold air intake to a type-s nets 7-8whp and again, the pull between a stock and a type-s with a cold air intake is negligible. fender length at best maybe? but not half a car.
but if there's video proof of a pulley doing that, im willing to see and be proven otherwise.

I'll see if I can find the relavent post for you (no video though) . It turned into a bit of a **** fight with a sceptic in the end but I believed the guy did a good test .
