Hell will freeze over before I put pullies on my car if you want to know why do a f'n search I am sick of posting it.

You can do what you want to your Mustang

My skill level is amateur hobbyist mechanic, I see no need to defend or justify my technical ability and have absolutely no plan to do so...

There is no need to resort to insults, this is tech. Express your opinions, engage in polite debates, and offer your advice in tech. Pretty simple concept

One more point I would make is that I spend a GREAT DEAL of time trying to help people in tech, if you do not like it add me to your ignore list or GTFO

to sum it up..all i gotta say is thanks to everyone for the help all the time.. kilgore has helped me several times in the past and has gave some good advice..on this topic i only see one reason to not use u/d pullies..which is the alternator and battery problem..simple fix.. im not changing the alt pulley, but i dont know why it would cause problems cuz the steeda one is larget in diameter..but thanks alot guys and thanks to the classifieds for savin me money..btw pullies are goin on tomorrow..ill report the sotp gains and im hittin the track tomorrow night..so ill get some time diff's too..if there is any

I put UPR pulleys on my car and they have worked fine, even the alternator. I don't see what everyone says is sooo bad about them. Most of them are the same, it all depends on what price you wanna pay for a name. You will get a little power pickup, not alot, but every bit counts. Don't listen to tools like Trout that just give useless information.

What pullies did u have rick. You know I have had them and put 28K on my car last year with zero problems.

I had the Roush pullies but they were the piggy back style. Thats why I would recommend doing the Steeda's (or similar) that replace the crank pully.

If you are putting pullies on you may as well do it all and change the alt pully too. I just don't see the reasoning for a few HP gain. It really didn't make much difference in my times at the track. Of course a few HP here and there add up...lord knows I've spent money on mods that were questionable.
