a few quick quesions on the 350z

[2003_350z_Touring]

hey i just have a few questions...first off i was wondering if anyone has installed the unorthodox racing pulleys on their 350z...and if you have i am just wondering what your opinions were about them..do you think it was worth the cash for the gains? also...i was wondering if anyone knew which was better for long term reliability....a super charger or a turbo...obvisouly i know that with either you are going to have increased maintenence and such...but i am just curious if one tends to be more reliable than the other...any input/opinions would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Generally superchargers are considered more reliable than turbochargers, i'm not sure of anything specific to the Z.

That's true; however turbos have more power potential. Therein lies the dilemna.

Ehhhh, the UR pulley (crank--the others are cosmetic for the most part) generates a lil' on my butt dyno, but I'm about to take mine off. I am replacing the stock pulley as I put on the Greddy TT kit. Why? There's a long standing discussion about pulley, dampers, and harmonic balancing within the engine and with a TT kit, I want to be safe, rather than sorry
