UPR Products-Underdrive pulley, good or bad??

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 07:26 AM

Can anyone help me out. I recently bought an 04 gt, and i am buying mods for it, im lookin for some good pulleys, anyone know a good brand? Possibly ones that arent all black. I seen the moto blue ones, are they good??

I would go with exhaust first unless it already has it.

I dyno'd it with CAI only on a DynoJet and got 226. Installed the SuperChips for my second pull and got 232.

I installed BBK O/R X, March underdrive pulleys, and MAC Catback. without the SuperChips i dyno'd 246 on a different DynoJet. With SuperChips i dyno'd 249. That is a 20 hp gain (without the superchips). Not sure what roll the pulleys played in that, but i have a feeling the exhaust was a lot more.

Were pulley's worth the money paid? idk, but they are on there now.

My last run at the track with these mods was:
2.127 60'
8.936 1/8th @ 78.91
13.742 1/4th @ 102.77

STEEDAs are the best.

keep away from BBK because you have to piggy back your crank pulley for balance which just seems inefficient...

Go with either Motoblue or Steeda. Two of the best brands out there. DO NOT get piggy back style pullies. This isn't your first mod is it?

I've heard of problems with UDP kits causing oil pumps to crack? my dyno shop recomended i NOT get UDP unless i kept the stock dampener. i chose to get the piggy back. though, technically, fluid dampening is best so i dont see how they could cause a problem.

btw, these engines are internally balanced. no balancer needed.

ChrisJ · March 16th, 2007, 04:58 PM

I fell sorry for you on the piggy back style...

They are horrible and cause alot of issues...

I ran Steeda UDP's for over a year with0 issues...

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 05:05 PM

I was either gonna go with steeda or motoblue. Ive bought a steeda cold air, its at my mothers house, i have to wait til i get back to the states to put it on. Other than that i pretty much know what i need to get, exhaust throttle body and plenum etc. Im gonna start with those. I looked at the steeda pullies, but black seems so boring.

Dude, you don't drive with the hood open and I'm pretty sure everytime you park you don't pop the hood and leave it for all to see. Your performance decides whether your engine is boring, unless you are making a show car.

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 05:23 PM

I want both

ChrisJ · March 16th, 2007, 05:30 PM

Definately go with the Steeda's Bro...I have ran them myself and I loved them...They were a nice little seat of the pants power boost...

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 05:38 PM

yea i probobly will, my buddy bought the steeda ones. he didnt have them on when i visited him. i read somewhere else that if you plan on puttin on a supercharger then pullies are a waste, is that true?

ChrisJ · March 16th, 2007, 05:40 PM

Yes very much so...

I had to take mine off when I got my blower...Becuase if you elave them on you will be under-driving the blower which is pointless...

But I sold them and did not lose my arse all that much on them...I got my use out of them and I was very happy...

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 05:45 PM

so you think if i buy some pulles now, and get a s-c lets say like a year or more down the road, and sone my pullies, it still would be dumb?

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 05:50 PM

sorry, if i sell** my pullies

ChrisJ · March 16th, 2007, 06:33 PM

I woudl go ahead and buy a set of pullies...You can sell them later when you get a supercharger...

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 06:54 PM

good, i was thinking of doin that anyways

Seabee · March 16th, 2007, 07:04 PM

anyone ever gotten any Ford Racing products, i found some pullies from them a little cheaper than Steeda, Are they trustworthy?

ChrisJ · March 16th, 2007, 07:40 PM

Link to the FRPP UDP's...

I ahve only used Steeda's...
