Just driving around I tend to lose power going up a hill. I'f I'm doing 65-75 when I get a hill it will drop 5-10 mph by the time I get to the top. I'm not looking to pass anyone, just trying not to have to be at 4500+ rpm on every hill. Thanks.

Underdrive crank pulleys do make a noticeable difference in performance based on my experiences over the past few years. www.NonStopTuning.com offers some sick crank and alternator pulleys for the xA and xB. I highly recommend you guys looking into their products

If you want to get it a "ZPI" pulley there is only one source. Zero Point Industries themselves.

If you just want the lightweight pulley, Agency Power is the company that actually manufactures the pulley. Vivid Racing has some of the best pricing I have seen on it.

Hope that helps.

BTW, I assume our engines are internally balenced? No need for a balencer on the pulley?

Go with either the Perrin or the Agency Power. I would avoid any of the "underdriven" pulleys. Even the ones that provide other pulleys to help with the alternator issue. You can get these through Zero Point Industries, Vivid Racing, etc.
