Default Light Weight Pulleys

I have a 96' A42.8 12V and I am thinking about light weightpulleys. Have any of you done them in the 12V? and if so how are they and would you recommend them? Thanks Much!

i'm not sure i know what you mean by "lightweight cams". I've heard of lightened pulleys, which i dont believe they make for the 12v...

or if you're just talking abou ta performance camshaft, schrick and eurospec make them.

you mean a more aggressive cam? not worth it. you will spend a lot and see little to no gains. you 12v people need to come to the reality that there are no mods for you.

you will see gains with a camshaft, it just depends on which cam you go with, and where you want to see the power gain.

not worth it. we just had a thread about this. you might see some improvements in your revs raising and dropping a bit quicker but it could also cause problems in the long run. and they are a b!tch to put on. almost same labor as a timing belt job
