but what I want to know is will I get better gas milage with the pullies? In central CA the temps get 100 plus every summer and I want to have my a/c on but it kills my gas milage, I want to know if you that have them get better gas milage with the pully set while the a/c is on as opposed to when you didn't have them. Or if I even just need some of the pullies and not the whole set. I can buy them if they make a difference, but I just need to know if I will get better gas milage with them. Hope you people can help me out .
Well I would theorize that since the pulley weighs less the engine won't work as hard to run the AC and so gas mileage should increase, but I am not sure.

Cold air intake, header exhaust, underdrive pulleys, new distributor cap and rotor, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, new o2 sensor. All of these WILL increase your gas mileage. No matter what, though, when you have the A/C on it will get worse gas mileage than if you had it off. BUT if you do some of these things to your car, it will even out or increase your gas mileage with the A/C on.
i have just the crank and water pump. didn't notice any power diff. however, my a/c is not as powerfull blowing cold when i am idling. cruising speed and highspeed eveything is just fine!

whatever dude, i hope youre not talking power-wise. anyways, the problem with getting all the bolt-ons, is what you could call the ear-to-foot syndrome. the more mods you have, the louder and faster your engine becomes, so whether intentional or not, most people lay into their engines alot more often once they have that power and consequently, lose mpg. once you tire of the power or the noise, you will notice an increase in mpg, simply for the fact that your engine is alot more efficient.
