March makes a good pulley, just as Steeda does. The Steeda's are a little more expensive, coming in at around $169, but the SFI approved damper on the crank pulley is supposed to be a plus for them. For reference, the March's are about $119. Hope this helps.

I have steeda pullies. They are great!

Nick, where did you find yours, and what was the price?

97 MGT · 08-27-2002

i bought mine directly from steeda. I think i paid 170 or something. Can't really remember. I buy all my steeda products directly from them.

When buying the pulleys make sure you get a balanced set and not a piggy back set. The balanced set will replace the harmonic balancer and you will be able to use a Steeda T/A later. The piggy back set will place the existing balancer further from the engine making a T/A uninstallable.

can we use the Timing adjuster with exhisting steeda pullies with a harmonic balancer?

Yes... Steeda T/A will work with any balanced set of pulley's. The only reason the T/A will not work on a piggy back setup is because the balancer is placed to far away from the block. This may also not be to good for high rpms either. I have been told by the speed shop of occations where the balancer on a piggy back system flew off and became a missle. Then you have to figure out what to do with this hole in the hood. Maybe use it as an alternate ram air?..lol

Well noted DO NOT GET MARCH UNLESS YOU BUY MINE I'm taking them off. They piggy back and cant use timing adjuster with them!

I think that i am going to stick with March pullies. I hear a lot of good stuff about them. so how much HP can i expect from them, anyone know? Also isnt true that if you get performance pullies like March or Steeda, don't they take stress off your engine and make it run better? Also i hear tha gas milage is improved too? thanks for any info provided
