Focus Central Pullies - Zoom - 09-12-2004
Now I have a pending deal to buy the OLDER STYLE 3 peice focus central pully set up.
It is just one more pulley
OLD: (3)
-----
Crank
Water Pump
Alternator
The NEW one has NO alternator pully.
Any ideas which is better? Why did they stop making the three piece kit? Is it not as good? Harmful? Quick responses would be muchly appreciated. Thanks!! I have to close this deal asap.

they stopped making the 3 piece baces to many people were dam up thier alts taking the pully off or putting the new one on.
they also found that after they switched to the 2 piece kit, the larger WP pully kept the power gains the same and even slightly better in most cases(although we are talking a .5hp difference).
plus the 2 piece kit allows you to reatin your stock belt
i have a black and a blue 2 piece kit in stock right now!

Right on the head of the nail Mitch, exactly. Also to add, the 'majority' of the gains from a UDP or UDP set come from the crank pulley, the water pulley doesn't do much. The three piece also uses the stock belt, not 100% sure but I was told that buy a mod on another forum. Either way, they don't make 3 piece pulley sets anymore anyway.

Not sure why colour actually matters here?
Say is there an HP difference between blue, red or silver? :D
