    well it may free up 5-10 horse, but it will help your engine climb the RPM's faster is the biggest improvement....

    they are relatively easy to install, you will just need a new GM crank bolt...

    but what it does is puts a smaller pulley on the end of the crankshaft so the belt that runs all your accessories will turn slower, and with a smaller pully it will have more mechanical advantage, so it will slow it down some and turn the accessories like the Power steering pump, AC, Alt, waterpump easier...

    A. Depends on how easily you notice things.....
    B. 4
    C. Somone correct me if im wrong, (I have not done it but follow me), set the motor at TDC on the stock pully, then remove the bolt holding it on, allign the underdrive as the stock one was and put new bolt in and torqe to spec....
    D. You will use the same sized belt....

    Why would you need to TDC anything at all? LS1 cranks are not keyed and are internally balanced. That would mean all crank pulley's would be zero balanced. If it's zero balanced then you can put it on any way you want.

    Im not worried about balance, I was saying for purposes of when you need to find TDC for adjusting valves, cam install stuff like that. but i guess cam is set internally with timing chain, but just like wiht older motors where you had a distributer to adjust timing, you had to watch the numbers on the pulley..... but like i said, ours may not even have numbers all being computer controlled...

    Not yet, I have the pulley and the belt sitting in my garage waiting to be installed next week. I just researched the parts I'm using A LOT.

    There are no numbers on the crank pulley, there is no valve lash to adjust on these motors, there is no distributor to dial in timing with.....
