Called that guy at his shop and he told me we would do it this morning so I went in. Took bout 1 hr. to install both and he fixed my exhaust leak. Really cool guy; selling me bbk c/c plates for 80 bucks. Install and exhaust leak was $80 as well. After talking to quite a few people I find there is a HUGE HUGE mustang scene here in nw arkansas

As for the power. Pullies alone def. put you in your seat a lot more. Feels reeeaalll nice at all rpm's. Timing right now is at 10* but will be bumping to 14-15* later when I go out. All in all I dont see how some poeple thought these were a waste and only added 2hp when mine felt like I added about 8hp with the pullies. Def. a must-get-mod.

Any ?'s for me just ask.

Do the pulleys help the engine to rev quicker. I hate the lazy rev that 4.6 motors have.

Make sure you get some 91+ octane fuel in her before you bump the timing

how would you be able to tell if you have under drive pullies. Mine look pretty small already( bought car used) so i want to make sure I don't already have them.

I was going to go with a computer chip (flip chip or whichever) which would have ran me about $300 im guessing.

Instead i went with Pulleys and a T/A for near the same price. I love the T/A

That's hard to say. If they're not Saleen or Steeda pulleys they won't say on there. You'd have to compare them with another cars pulleys to tell. Like go to the local Ford dealer and pop the hood of 1 of those Mustangs before the 05s come out. Mine are ASP & it won't tell you that on the pulleys.

I love mine as well. Whoever says that pullies and TA's do do anything is a jackass, or just has bad luck and didn't pick up any power. I really wanna go and get my car on the dyno. I don't even know how much timing she will take. I've had it up to 15* on 92 octane and no pinging. I want to make some dyno runs starting at 14* or so and work my way up to 17* or whenever power starts to drop off or detonation kicks in. Right now, I have to use the good ol' SOTP meter, so it's set at a conservative 14*.

Damn I was going to one of my friends houses earlier and i turned on a street and went easy then wot'd so the tires wouldnt spin, hit second and chirped like a mother. These things are amazing. Where my car used to hit 45 coming out of my neighborhood I was easly at 50-55.

For those who dont have these mods.....GET THEM!

As far as the pulleys/ta mods go.. decent power for the price
