im looking into further modifying my 3.4liter firebird and i heard that changing the pulleys helps increasing horsepower, so i figured id ask if neone that has done it thought there was a significant difference from putting on the underdrive pulleys? if so would you say its worth buying?

Underdrive Pulleys do they really make a difference?

They do not make the Underdrive pulleys for the 3.8 ..they only make them for the 3.4.
If anyone disagrees with this, then please provide a website showing that it's for the 3.8 too. Because it's not! [img]smile.gif[/img]94 Camaro 3.4 A4 <br />T-Tops<br />In the process of an LS1 swap.

ZZPerformance Carries an underdrive waterpump pulley and several alternator pulleys for the 3800-II.
Their waterpump pulleyon a Grand Prix GT L36 put down +4whp over stock (approx 5hp at flywheel).
I think they also have a lightweight stock sized pulley too.
