kinda upsetting

ATLmustang · February 2nd, 2007, 07:40 AM

i just bought a set of steeda underdrive pullies and installed them yesterday first of all i would say dont try the install without an impact gun and 2nd have a picture of your belt diagram b/c who ever owned my car b4 me took that little picture off (the belt routing sticker). well anyways so i finally get every thing back on and was ready for a test drive well. i went down the road a few times and let the car warm up and then got on it alittle but i couldnt really tell a differnce. when i get out of school today i am going to take a longer test drive but so far this install is kinda seeming not worth the $190 bucks. well ill post later after the longer test drive wish me luck

You won't feel a difference from UDP's alone. Just like you wont really feel a difference from a cai intake. They only make maybe 3-5 rwhp. It's only until you've got 8 or 9 different bolt ons that each make 3-5 rwhp when you'll feel a difference. Don't get discouraged, they are a great mod, just keep working towards some more bolt ons and then you'll see that your car is getting faster.

UD pulleys don't do shit.... maybe 2-4 hp.

you definately wont feel them UDPs

sonicblue · February 2nd, 2007, 10:58 AM

like said above they wont do much alone but it all adds up.its a good mod so just keep adding the bolt ons.

i say stop where you are now and get a blower. i've spend 4600 on boltons and nitrous.. if i could do it over i'd get a blower from the get go and save some money .. seems like a lot to drop 3000 but if you're planning on adding more and more boltons.. you'll save a lot of money with the blower route

Shit, that's a lot of money for bolt ons. What all did you get? I guess the N2O was a large chunck of that, but damn...

ATLmustang · February 2nd, 2007, 03:42 PM

yea i have a cai, high flow H pipe, Flowmasters, and now the UDP i can tell a small gain but next i am going to get a TB and intake Plenum and after that a tunner. i would like to get a procharger but i still owe money on my car so i cant afford to spend much more on it

Drgnracin72 · February 2nd, 2007, 04:54 PM

ive been trying to tell people for a long time, instead of buying all the little bolt ons, why not just have your heads ported and polished, and get a good set of cams. itll cost around the same as all the bolt ons, and itll make a helluva lot more hp. just my views

Not only that, but your car will sound like a real muscle car. Nothing like listening to cams hitting a good lick. A good set of rumpety-rump cams speak for themselves...

ATLmustang · February 2nd, 2007, 11:21 PM

yea see what you are saying but my parents wouldnt really go for that and i kinda like doing the little bolt ons thats just me though

neckbonekat · February 3rd, 2007, 02:40 AM

Don't worry your bolt ons will add up then if you do get a big power adder they will work as a support system.

gills99stang · February 3rd, 2007, 07:21 AM

+1

But... don't forget if you get a blower on a stock system (read=stock internals) you can't run that much psi because your stock internals can only take so much.

But I also agree with drgnracin72, a good p/p and some cams will make your car sound SICK...

and to go with this somebody on the blog said "the pretter the item is the less HP it will make." WP

LOL
Remember 2 things:

1 ) HP isnt cheap!

2) If it looks pretty, it gains shitty!
