are steeda underdrive pulleys worthit

spike spiegel · May 16th, 2008, 03:53 PM

thinking about getting some steeda pulleys for my next mod are they worth it,thanks

yojoe600 · May 16th, 2008, 04:27 PM

they are unless you plan on getting a supercharger in the future

spike spiegel · May 16th, 2008, 04:34 PM

how much hp will i gain

putermech · May 16th, 2008, 04:44 PM

Pullies give back hp, not gain. Ford claims 260 HP but that's with the engine dyno. Ever watch horsepower TV? You''ll see one in action. Once installed, you're stangs real HP is around 245 HP. Atleast that's what I've seen on a stock GT strapped to a dynojet.

Doc8224 · May 16th, 2008, 04:57 PM

They are worth it. You will get high single to maybe low double digit gains maybe. Most of the time its a high single digit gain. For the $150 you will spend on the pullies look into the stewart components water pump. Same price as the steeda pullies but with a better wheel horse power gain.

White99stang · May 16th, 2008, 05:20 PM

what all you guys need to understand is our cars don't respond that well to bolt-ons. you might not even see a gain from ud pulleys, its when you do alot of little bolt-ons that you see and feel the difference.

Tmac3320 · May 16th, 2008, 05:26 PM

so if i purchased a stewarts water pump and combined it with my mods then i would feel a difference? i would think so....

and i wouldnt need to re-tune would i? wouldnt think so either.....

thanks

Tmac3320 · May 16th, 2008, 05:27 PM

oh, also if you have ud's does it only effect roots style (screw type right?) or does it effect centrifical too.

White99stang · May 16th, 2008, 05:32 PM

it effects all superchargers. What i meant with feeling the difference is when you add alot of bolt ons at the same time. You not gonna feel a difference with just u/d pulleys, or a water pump, or a cai, people say they are but you can't tell the difference gaining 6-9hp

MustangMatt96GT · May 16th, 2008, 05:33 PM

only thing it does on a blower is create more boost right? Its got a smaller potenial distance to travel correct?

Tmac3320 · May 16th, 2008, 05:34 PM

yup, i believe that for sure. but it would still be worth it for me to get that pump when i do gears and an al ds right? thats my summer project

cant wait!

White99stang · May 16th, 2008, 05:47 PM

wrong it will actually create less boost.

MustangMatt96GT · May 16th, 2008, 05:50 PM

fell free to explain. I dont understand how it would loose boost when the pullies are technically smaller in different places. Stock belt is still on my car with underdrive pullies and so if the belt length is the same, wouldnt the boost be the same?

DeMello · May 16th, 2008, 05:51 PM

if stangs dont respond well to bolt ons then why even buy them as mods? lol

White99stang · May 16th, 2008, 05:52 PM

exactly demello so quit asking question about them lol

MustangMatt96GT · May 16th, 2008, 05:54 PM

DeMello... Ask anybody here that has dropped serious cash in there car and ask if the cheap mods actually helped...

I can vouch for that one...

But Tim can you explain the Boost thing to me through a PM or here?

DeMello · May 16th, 2008, 05:55 PM

i love my car tho

im just saying like i know you spent alot on bolt ons...why not just say fuck bolt ons ill just get a turbo

MustangMatt96GT · May 16th, 2008, 05:56 PM

Well Tims car has had a few setups. The first one was a supercharger. But the little piddly shit like CAI and what not is not going to help you unless you have cams and heads, blowr or turbo....

DeMello · May 16th, 2008, 06:00 PM

so bascially the little shit like CAI, T/B, and exhuast doesnt really help intill you go FI and then it does rite

White99stang · May 16th, 2008, 06:00 PM

less drag and less speed on pulleys mean less boost on supercharger. If you were seeing 12lbs of boost without underdrive pulleys you would probrably only see 6lbs with them on.
