Default Which pulley system?

Hey guys and gals... I need a little help here. I have an 03 R/T and I'm trying to figure out which pulley system to get for my car. I see that there are a few companies that offer them, but I am unsure of which to do. Unorthodox looks decent as does MPX and AFX... Which should I do and why that one... Thanks in advance...

- Chris

Oh, and any good sites with good prices would help too.. Money's a bit tight...

But if you go to Unorthodox's website, they don't even list the 2003s as being a car it will work on.. Is the block the same from the 2002-2003 because my R/T obviously has the magnum engine. Thanks for any input.

Yeah it is the same. It should work fine on your car. Why the unorthodox RR? MPx pulley is no good???? The unorthodox is about twice the price as MPx's pulley.

I've seen the dyno results from Unorthodoxs' pulleys and cam sprockets in a few mags before. They also list the gains you will get from each and every one in their catalog and they yeild good gains. I haven't anything on the MPx pulleys so I cannot say one way or another about them.

Which one is lighter? Like it or not lighter weight is were most of the power comes from. I know on altimas UR makes a pulley that is pretty decent but a smaller company (kinda like modern performance) makes one that is a full 2 pounds lighter then the UR and for about half the cost. So lighter is better (And cheaper in this case )

That is what UR is almost always the best at, being the lightest. The lighter the better unless it compromises the parts strength and durability.
