any gains? or side effects?I have the UR pulley and no problems here, I don't regret purchasing the pulley one bit it has helped my car rev a lot quicker and it gives it power throughout the whole entire rpm range especially at high rpm you can feel a nice kick. I also held both pulleys in my hand our stock pulley is heavy as hell. you will feel a bigger difference when you have more engine upgrades but it is a worth while modification.

The only side-effect was at the begining and it was all the shop's fault they did'nt tighten the pulley and belt correctly so it was squeaking like hell but I got that fixed now and it works perfectly.

there is only 1 cam gear available at the moment - made by sunbelt, sold by tripoint.

it's just a stock cam gear with the middle cut out, holes drilled and threaded in the forks of it and a aluminium plate put over the top to the cam is adjustable. pretty simple design actually.

cams topend 90-100mph area
What is the point of power in this area...........unless racing I don't think I would have ever told myself "man, i wish this would have more power when i'm going around 95 mph"

How hard is it to install this stuff.

I wish I had more power aroudn there that is still the top of fouth and about 4000ish in fifth.

They also sell a different final gear ration but I havn't figured out how that would affect speed yet.

much needed even in 70- 80 theres a huge lag. Are cams now are torque spec cams so if you want i down low just throw on a pulley.

aftershock....yes they do sell the sunbelt cam gears....at more than what everone else does.

as usual they just rename it a srmotorsport prodocut, and i love how they have part numbers for the 1.8, 2.0 and 2.0t - urrrr....they are all the same (???)
