Many people have upgraded their pulleys and have not had issues. I've been running a 15% for a few years now and I am planning on a 17 very soon. Go for it, you won't regret it.

Take a look a 1320Mini they offer very good value for money... Service and quality of work is second to none... I can't recommend these guys enough... They've carried out all the work on my car and I'm now pushing 260bhp... It's worth getting a healthcheck and maybe a dyno reading to see what you car is currently pushing... You may be surprised at what your cars 'standard' figure actually is...

......your right FLOOF,1320 is for me all the time
