Are pulleys worth the price? What improvements did you see? Would it be good to do it at the same time as a chip? Thanks!

Pullies are a great mod for the price. $150 gets you 8-10 hp. Cost about $50 - $70 to have installed in a shop. Does not affect the chip situation at all.

Steeda makes great ones.

www.mustangtuning.com has them on sale right now. I just ordered mine.

You won't see 8-10 hp on a 4.6 2v. Maybe 5 at the MOST. The stock pulleys from mid 2001+ are pretty good.

Im not sure the exact gain on mine since I had a pretty mean tune on my chip at the time of the dyno. I did definately notice some more pull above 3000rpm though. If they are installed correctly you should have 0 problems out of them. I have Steeda pulley's and have no charging problems or anything. I was in stop and go traffic in 80+degree heat in Wilmington last weekend for almost an hour and had no heating issues either

So their aren't any issues with pulleys on Automatics? I have a 2000 GT auto and had someone tell me not to put the alternator pulley on or else I would have trouble with the battery charging or something. Just curious, I'm looking at getting Steeda pulleys.

Whats the difference between the pulleys on my 2000 and the pulleys on the 2001+?
