Are the Steeda pulleys worth it?

LOL - sorry, but that's a retarded reason to buy something

U/D pulleys work alright, but a lightweight flywheel, or aluminum driveshaft will have better results for just a bit more cash (depending on if you can do the work yerself n junk).

You can get aluminum underdrive pulleys on ebay from brothers performance for about half the price of the steeda's. BTW the steeda's are steel.

I almost have every bolt on but I didn't do it just to say I have every bolt on lol.
Anyways so it seems like most of you guys would say skip the U/D pulleys?

I had the steeda udp's on my 99 gt Automatic and there are some benifits that
you will notice IMO....

Your AC wont drag down your engine near as bad.
Your car will pull harder at higher rpms.

Sometimes when your in drive just creeping along with your foot off the gas,
like when you pull into your garage or parking, my engine would die.
Not sure but it seemed to idle at a slighty lower rpm.

On my 04 I have yet to install them but I plan to in the future. So all in all
I like them better than stock.

Im thinkin because its an automatic, in drive, creeping, there is still a load
on the engine which would make it be at an even lower than idling rpm.
like at 400 rpm. But it would rarely happen. Not enough to be an issue.

Some good stuff just came in tonight. The FRPP B springs, K&N FIPK GEN 2 kit and the Steeda pullies came in. The Blisteins should be here on Friday. I will get everything installed next week. Can’t wait.

Steeda makes the the one piece crank pulley also which is way better than the piggyback style. I plan I changing my piggy back with the the Steeda crank pulley.

Didn't think I would see this thread come back. I have had the pullies on for almost four months now with no problems and I notice a difference with them. So if anyone is thinking about doing them I would say go for it.
