Default Up Coming Spring Mods - Aluminum Pulleys

So..... I thought "Hey, 2015, I don't have a need for any Monte Mods", who am I kidding!!!

A guy on ClubGP.com is making light weight, aluminum replacement pulleys for the alternator, water pump, power steering pump and tensioner.

I received my box of pulleys middle of last week. They look really nice. I think the aluminum will look great on the Monte!! Not sure how much the light weight will really matter (I'm honestly doing it for the looks). Here's a pic of them!!

I saw them the other day and was curious if they would fit my car, not sure if they were for supercharger only, or if they would work the na.

They look awesome and will definitely look good under the hood

These pulleys are not related to being supercharged, they work on both versions of the 3800 to my knowledge. The guy who did them was designing them for his friend's RWD Camaro with a 3800.

I'm anxious to put these on

Those look really good. Makes me want to look into something like this but I wouldn't want to try to put them on mine haha. Can't wait to see how it looks.

How much weight do you think you'll save with that? I might be interested in something like that!

I'm guessing 1-5lbs if that. I honestly am doing it for the looks more then any weight savings. But the plus side is, it is rotational weight savings (reducing "parasitic draw" off the crank pulley). So if there are any gains, that's where and why. But again, going for looks.
