Message	the gains are insignificant compared to the potential excessive engine wear issues. For what it's worth I spun a rod bearing in less than 20k miles after the install. So did a friend of mine. *Disclaimer for Wesman* This is for reference only. I make no claims either way because I have no proof that the pulley was to blame. On the other hand I have no proof that it wasn't. I think both sides should be heard. Jonathan Howlett AIM-JRHZ32 1993 Ultra Red Twin Turbo 1990 Pearl Yellow Twin Turbo(Deceased)
