Crankshaft Pulley Recommendations

[sorapolc]

At first I was looking into changing the air intake but I was told it wouldn't affect the engine as much. So I was recommended to change the crankshaft pulley if I wanted more torque and horsepower. What brand is recommended? I've been doing some online search and found these 3 brands: Cobb Tuning, Perrin and Grimmspeed.

I also need to change the all the belts right? If I happen to change the crankshaft pulley. There are around 3-4 belts there. Are there specific names for them, if to buy online?

And if I was to change the power steering pulley, alternator ones as well. Would it affect the car in a good way? Long run? Worth changing as well?

only two belts

Yup, 2 accessory belts, one for the A/C another for everything else

The crank pulley makers are all essentially the same. The only difference really is price and the actual weight of the pulley. Make sure you get a lightweight but NOT under driven. Under driven are smaller, and will require special belts to drive your accessories. Lightening the other pulley wheels has a positive effect, but not as great as the LW crank pulley. If you can find a decent deal on all three - AC, power steering and crank - you might as well do it. It's kind of a do-once then forget mod.
