REVIEW MPX Light Weight Crank Pulley

Here is my review guys.

ENJOY! and DISCUSS

YouTube - MPX Light Weight Crank Pulley Review.wmv

I wanna update you guys on this a little bit more. Today i went on a road trip that i make quite often. I did a road trip from Rochester to buffalo which is all I-90 75mph driving.
When doing this trip before i always got around 26mpg on my instant reader at 75mph. Today i was hovering above 31mpg and sometimes i was getting 38mpg.
I thought it was just a fluke but when i didn't have to put as much gas as i usually do in the veh i was surprised.
So I'm going to go ahead and say that this Pulley has helped with my mileage. I dont think it was just the Pulley that gave me such a large increase. Conditions could have been perfect. But i defintally think it helped

Nice thanks also did you do the forge motorsports video review too? If so thanks dude you're appreciated by me a lot. Thanks for your work.

As for the pulley I don't think I'll ever get one. I don't plan on doing more than Intake, DP, CP and intercooler in performance. Rest of my mods will be shine and show or support mods

Good review man. Can you provide the link where you bought this from. Can this product also be used for the 2.2 and 2.4 ecotec engines?

Keep up the good reviews. It's a lot better seeing something working in the real world versus bench racing. Once again, good job.

Nice review, man. Thanks. You should do more of this things.

How much horsepower would you say you gained?

All interested people should pull a group buy from MPx. I'm in.

gdub you're like a "saint" on this topic and the forge bpv review. I do appreciate what you did for the Canadians getting their forges shipped to them and providing us with this helpful info on Mpx's Lightweight Pulley. Thanks for the review. So...

We posted a dyno graph from our Cobalt Turbo run on our website :


Our pulley gave us a nice power increase pretty much across the board.

Thats good improvement on the gas mileage. So have you had a chance to do any 0-60 pulls?
