Default urd pulley still available

well the pulley is still available. but if no one wants it on this site i might just try and get it installed. i dont want to bother on eBay anymore. maybe on the longrun it will save me gas and pay for itself.

Default URD Pulley installed

I strongly suggest you to install it. I just got mine installed after 5 months of delay. Right out of the shop the car feels lighter and acceleration is definitely better.
URD pulley is 1 lbs 10 oz, OEM is 5 lbs 1 oz (local post office scale), I know Lexmex weighted it at 5 lbs 4 oz. Shaving 3.25 lbs = horsepower gain at an average of 8.8. More importantly it is across the entire RPM band, from idle to redline.
Lexmex, did you notice any mpg gain?

I noticed a slight gain in the first two weeks and then it kind of trickled off. The trickle down in MPG might also have been due to my foot rammed to the accelerator 24/7. In the first week was when I also set my still current 1/4 mile record with that pulley on (weather was a little cooler then), so it does give you those 8.8 horses.

That will pay for itself in no time and it should not take more than an hour to do this.

got the pulley installed in 45min and just for $70! i felt a better throttle response, but this is before i unplugged the battery. so hopefully i can feel more performance later on. thanks for the encouragement Lexmex and TunedRX300.
