you have the 2.2 so ide get the cavalierconnection.com pulleys; they are cheaper than the rsm and you get the alt puller too; def worth it.

I think that amount of money would better be spent elsewhere

Hey, i love my RSM pulley, the faster rev ups and quicker acceleration i think is worth it.

And as for the Alt pulley, if you have a system like i do, it will only give you problems.

thats one of my big deals because i do have a system. i have a 1000watt amp and 2-12's. i have heard that some pulleys would effect my accessories like my system. what kind of gains should i accept from the pulleys.

I went with RSM for 2 reasons.

1) my next soor naeighbor was selling one,

2) was the price, it was the same as when he bought it, but his car was totaled the same day it came in the mail, so he was screwed.

As for HP, i dont know, i didnt dyno it. And ive had my pulley since Oct last year.

As for the alt, if you underdrive your alt, you will gain HP, at a loss to your electrical system. Because you will be running the alternator slower, so it cant pump out enough power for all your accessories.

Im running an 8 speaker surround, not counting tweeters, and 2 Basslink T's.

I tought about it for my ecotec, but what would be better a smaller one or a lighter weighted one. would a light weighted one affect my accesories as bad as a smaller one?

See that's where I'm getting confused. I have a 2.4 I would like to get a lightened alternator pulley for my car. Not an underdriven one. My understanding from Craig was that there weren't lightened stock size pulleys available. Of course they might have them for the Eco. So any confirmation on lightened 2.4 alternator pulleys would be awesome news. My crank pulley is going on in the next 2 weeks.

A stock but lighened pulley would not effect your systems performance.

Keep it stock size. That won't affect your system. The lighter weight will give you some performance gain being that it reduces rotational mass.
