UDP?

Are underdrive pulleys really worth the money. I've been told they arent worth the money and not to mess with the pulleys on our cars but it seems like a lot of you have them with no problems. So whats the bottom line worth about 200 bucks or not?

07 STROKER · July 25th, 2008, 02:29 PM

get them..install them...never look back.

07stanggt · July 25th, 2008, 02:30 PM

Steeda Underdrive Pulleys

I think they are. Shop that dynoed my car before and after said i wouldnt gain anything as well. Not to much to say after the dyno though.

leebunnyz · July 25th, 2008, 02:32 PM

get them, squeez every bit of hp you can out that mofo.

07stanggt · July 25th, 2008, 02:33 PM

by the way you can see the a/f mixture is the same. its no trick in the tune.

stanglifemike · July 25th, 2008, 02:46 PM

I have them on both of mine, and I love them. Do it...Do it

Jucostud · July 25th, 2008, 08:44 PM

You'll feel a differance. The car seems to run a little smoother at higher rpms. like there is a little more juice. They look cooler too

stangNV · July 25th, 2008, 08:56 PM

yup and throttle response is better and engine revs quicker

Wait a couple weeks and I'll have a set for sale.

beastGT · July 25th, 2008, 11:02 PM

how easy/hard are they to install?

kenneth · July 25th, 2008, 11:04 PM

Takes about 1-1/2 hours

bamagt · July 25th, 2008, 11:06 PM

How are you with a wrench?

You'll need a small wheel puller, torque wrench to 100 ft/lb, black RTV sealant, and your basic hand tools. An impact wrench is a plus for removing the crank bolt. There's a detailed procedure thread on the job if you use the search function. Not a hard job at all, did mine in about 1 1/2 hours.

Great mod for the money. Increased throttle response for sure. Good luck!

beastGT · July 25th, 2008, 11:18 PM

i can have access to all those tools if i go on base but to be honest ive never torqued a wrench to a certain number...just as tight as possible haha

bamagt · July 25th, 2008, 11:59 PM

What branch? Retired AF, myself. The military auto hobby shops are pretty good, they'll have all the tools you'll need and someone there to help (hopefully they're worth a shit). Find the link to UDP installation on here, it's good. This is a piece of cake, even for a novice. Just follow the instructions. The RTV sealant is important. Otherwise you'll have an oil leak.

06VistaGT · July 26th, 2008, 08:41 AM

its very easy to install. I did mine right at the auto shop at my base. Took about 30 mins. I think they are worth it. Haven't had any issues with mine yet.

OHYELLER · July 26th, 2008, 12:18 PM

What everyone here says is very true. Make sure you go with Steeda. Its a no brainer. Best $200.00 I ever spent.

MaverickMLFD371 · July 26th, 2008, 12:33 PM

they are worth it!

stangNV · July 26th, 2008, 12:57 PM

im 18 and it took me about 30 mins

psycho bob · July 26th, 2008, 02:37 PM

only reason i didn't do it is because i am trying to not spend money on something i'll not be able to use with the sc'er. yeah it's only 200 bucks, but that could also be put to some lca's or an upper. they are a good investment if you don't mind taking them off and selling them for about half of what you paid for them.

beastGT · July 26th, 2008, 06:15 PM

yeah good point. I plan on keeping this car for a while and eventually getting a s/c but that may be 2 years down the road when i graduate college so until than it seems like a good idea.
