You shouldn't lose any torque with this mod, it should actually help you in all RPM ranges. You don't really "get" more horse power, but it frees up horse power due to reducing the rotating mass on the crank. I think it is a great mod. I especially noticed a lot of difference in the higher RPM ranges. As mentioned by another poster above, most manufacturers will have a list of part numbers for easily accessable belts. I know my Bomez UDP game with a list of PN's for Gates Belts (Napa). The difference in weight from the UDP crank pulley and the stock crank pulley is huge. Its hard to believe that the factory wouldn't have used an aluminum pulley to save on the rotating mass--it didn't even have to be undersized (underdriven)--that would have been sweet. Now after I installed my UDP, I did get some minor headlight dimming at idle when the bass hit hard, because the Alt is being underdriven. You can fix that by purchasing a smaller diameter Alt pulley. Also, I noticed that at about 1000-1100 RPM's, charging is back to normal. Many people run a second battery in the trunk along with capacitors to help with this issue on BIG stereo systems. 95 Avenger 2.0 - Hahn 16g, DMS 8 injector setup, UDP, Big FMIC, HKS SSQV, MSD Coil & Wires, ZEX Nitrous System, QTP Cut Out, Mandrel 2.5" Exhaust with cat delete, MP 60mm TB...and tons of Carbon Fiber
