I just want to ask you guys out there with the 17% pulley is it worth it? Is it noticeable in power gain? I'm about to order one and just want to know

Nope it sucks. No power gains and is a waste of money. But this will help a lot

To the Op...IF you need to ask, you have never done a search or read a thread on it!

Or perhaps I could just say "DO IT!!" You will be happy!

You don't see much more power over the 15% but a bit more belt wear. As long as you keep an eye on things you would be fine both ways.
