Not at all... We're trying to save you a ton of time, money, and elbow grease, trying to put back to stock, all of those things that make the car even the remotest fun to drive on the street.
I feel like you guys are trying to attack me ...
Two magic words "Southern Cali " are an indication that you will run afoul of the smog inspection with your plans. You could very well find yourself unable to do anything with the car but tow it to the racetrack, and once there, lose miserably.

We are here to help, realistically you're gonna do what you want to with your car, we're just trying to help you see that the little to no gain in HP is going to be at the cost of driveability and reliability, to most of isn't worth it.
I didn't spend any money , they were basically given to me.
I haven't heard anyone argue that my 100$ purchase of the gt40 intake was dumb so in the end I don't get why im being roasted like some idiot ruining my car because I got some pullies and the belt necessary in with the deal...
I made this thread to see if skipping the power steering pump was something people did at the drag strip to maybe shave a tenth in the 1/4 and how or why it would ruin the steering rack.
I know right! Good thing this site is only 50% about "Cornholio" and beer.One other thing: If we didn't have cars to talk about, this entire forum would be nothing but:
We are here to help keep you from making this "bad" car worse than the way you got it. Just because the previous owner of your car hacked it up doesn't mean that you should pick right up from where he left off. If you want performance then get some legit mods that will give you HP & TQ while keeping some of the creature comforts these cars have (which are not many). Fix the PS system or get a manual steering rack. Fix the A/C or go ahead and get the A/C delete PS relocation kit from LMR. A lot of people report issues with cooling and charging after doing UD pullies. It's up to you however you've been warned. Besides, you said it's only 20 minutes to swap the pullies so there is not much of an investment to find out what kind of SOTP feel there is with the modification. I hope you have a 3g alternator already installed in the car before doing the UD pullies.You're under the impression I took a car that would pass smog and dismantled all of that... the car had no smog equipment on it when I bought it besides a smog pump that wasn't connected and egr valve not connected. if everything was intact I would most definitely left it hooked up and made hp gains the legal way. Trying to find a mustang that is not all molested is nearly impossible as I'm sure you know
Which I understand and respect. I wouldn't dismantle being able to pass smog or having cold ac in Southern California to gain 5-10 hp. The car didn't have these things from the get-go. I wouldn't get rid of my power steering either because I know what it's like not having it and it sucks. The underdrive pullies I honestly thought helped because I've seen a few threads about actually making a few more ponies and thought that was a known thing. I see that's not the case here in this crowds opinion. I figured at worst I'd be ok because I was not changing the alternator pully although I understand making the crank pulley smaller still makes the alternator turn less times per crank turn. If I do have charging issues I kept my stock pullies where I can easily find them and it took me all of 20 minutes putting them on.. I didn't spend any money , they were basically given to me.
I haven't heard anyone argue that my 100$ purchase of the gt40 intake was dumb so in the end I don't get why im being roasted like some idiot ruining my car because I got some pullies and the belt necessary in with the deal... maybe what I will do is put the stock pullies back on after I finish with the intake swap and see if there is any noticeable difference because any speed difference I feel now would just be attributed to the intake swap. and after I do the test I will report back and let you all know that it's true and I didn't feel anything from a mod that can cost over a 100$ and make your car overheat or develop a charging issue. Im done defending myself from people acting like I drilled holes in the frame to "shave weight"
I made this thread to see if skipping the power steering pump was something people did at the drag strip to maybe shave a tenth in the 1/4 and how or why it would ruin the steering rack. Maybe i worded it incorrectly but I feel like my I got a response of people saying "you're an idiot"
