Definetely AFX!!!!! I'm not sure about the numbers, but the AFX have a higher underdrive percentage than the Unorthodox!!!!

I think the 30% underdrive pulley is for their "for race application only" pulley that doesn't have power steering. 20% Underdrive for the "street" pulley

yep, you guys are right. This should be put in things weve seen before though.

I have heard people say that Unorthodox released a 30% underdrive pulley but when I purchased mine, Unorthodox said the latest release only had a 20% underdrive. Oh well, you gain most of your power from the reduced weight of aftermarket pulleys (which can, but not always, be contributed to by smaller size of the pulley). One side note, the Unorthodox pulley comes in two pieces, one that mounts to the crank and then the actual pulley that mounts to the first piece. So, you can remove the actual pulley piece and replace it with a lighter pulley (for racing) without removing the whole unit from the crank. Although the Unorthodox is well designed, you just can’t beat the price/value of the AFX one. I’d get the AFX one…

On the 33% one does it still have the power steering? If it does and its $140 then isnt that a better buy then the AF/X one? I know its not out yet, but what have any of u heard about it yet?

I dont know... anything that comes in two pieces like that sounds dangerous to me. The afx is hard to get on for one reason.. it will stay on!! For ten bucks more id rather stick with something that is tested and proven by our peers.
