I recommend the stock pullies. Underdrive pullies are not worth the risk and hassle to install

I like my u/d pulleys.. but i didnt put them on, they were on there when i got it.. except the alternator pulley, which the previous owner gave me (because he's a nice guy like that )

that wasn't too bad, just took an impact

Steeda's are expensive, but they are the safest and the only ones I would recommend. I like mine and no issues if installed correctly.

I have the Steeda u/d pulleys. After the install there was no noticable performance gain, but also no charging, light dimming, or AC issues. If you can get a set for cheap, go for it, otherwise - meh?

Steeda's are the one & only...no problems..priced OK.
I'm using a Raptor shift light. The instructions are on their website.
www.raptorperformance.com This light is easy to install...real easy. I have a conv. it's mounted near the sun visor

Had my BBK pullies for 3+ years now. No problems with them at all.

Another vote for the Steeda's here.....but pretty much any popular brand will do.

my reason for putting on the UD/P would be that i do alot of high way driving and have the 3:73's. at 75 mph i'm at 2400 rpm's and i think that the UD/P would help out the ac system. so with steeda's no charging issue's? mine is automatic 2000 GT.

I've heard they were pretty tough to install...sometimes the stock pulleys are bolted on really tight?

It's not really bad, the only one that's on there with a lot of force is the crankshaft pulley, but that's only one bolt and it's not even that hard to break lose. However, you need an impact wrench for the alternator.

By the way, I'm tired of people who have Steeda udp's saying that they're the only safe way to go. There are thousands of people with March (What I have), ASP, BBK and others who've had no problems.

As long as you dont forget to put the washer back on the harmonic balancer and have the pulley fall of the crank while doing 50 on an onramp (like I did, boy did I feel like a retard) then you're fine.
