Ecotec Underdrive Pullies?

So.... has anyone heard about any underdrive pullies for the N/A Ecotecs? I'd like to find one for the AC compressor... maybe some other stuff.... try and gain some power that way. Opinions?

stay away from them if this is your daily driver, for a weekend racer only these may be good for the 2 hp they produce

heheh.... thanks for the info... but if I can find one for the A/C compressor I'll probably get it... just because I rarely ever run the A/C anyways... even in the summer... I prefer windows down, roof open.

if the 2.2 pulley would fit then the crank and alt pullies are all you will find


the a/c would require alot of work to make and change , plus the a/c doesnt really draw any power down when its not being used

What he said ^^^^

Most AC units have a clutch that engages the AC pulley only when the AC is turned on.

The cobalt also doesn't have a PS pump to drive either so even less draw on the crank.
Go electric power steering!

I have seen you can gain some horse from replacing the balance shafts with a racing neutral balance shaft and thant can pick you up some power. GM claims it takes 10 HP to drive the balance shaft on the LSJ.
