should i run my ZZP underdrive pulley?

180 really even wouldn't hurt stock. It doesn't do anything. But I sure as hell thinks it makes a difference under the hood and if I'm sitting in traffic or doing whatever it won't get as hot. But yeah 160 is for when u have a lot of mods and need the car to stay cool
 


180 doesn't do anything for sitting in traffic unless you have a PCM to kick the fans on sooner. Otherwise it still lets the temp hit 210 before the fans kick on.

As for stock... not unless you have knock before modding. Seriously, unless you've got a 3.4 or smaller pulley and the supporting mods, don't worry about it. I will never run a 160. These engines were made to run hot, running them a bit cooler is like a mild deterrent to hotspots.

Really guy? Why? Why is it not worth putting on? It's been PROVEN to give you about 5hp and about 5 ft-lbs of torque? He got the damn thing for free, it takes 15 minutes tops to swap it out. So WHY is it not worth it?

Are you sponsored by zzp now? I noticed the sig... Do you get discount or anything?

Because you're really losing that much wp efficiency by using it?

Aren't u the same guys that advocate the use of a stock t-stat?

How many hp is that worth?

Hp takes bigger swings based on intake temperature.

Acceleration changes more based on change in elevation than what a 180 and an under drive do.

So why should you sacrifice flow then attempt to compensate with a lower temp thermostat? 13 chp only if you were knocking to begin with?

right the fans still kick on at the same temp but what i meant was it doesnt happen as often. or at least thats what it seems like to me.

i personally dont think it hurts anything. but i may not know as much as some when it comes to the grand prix. like i said. if it was free, id def do it.
 


i think no matter what car you have, if you have lighter weight in any of the pullies it is better for the car. as long as its not made cheap. i mean like a strong light weight pulley
 
yea it seams like it will work well im about to just put it on cause i have it and try it what can it hurt? im willing to sacrifice a few degrees in temp for 3+ more HP
