u/d pullies

[steveb24]

i see these u/d pulleys for sale. march, bbk, steeda. the prices are different but do they all off the same power gains? im only interested in gaining power, and im not putting the aftermarket alt pulley on when i buy a set. which set should i get? does it really matter?

Anything but the piggy back style would be ok. Good luck!

steeda

The cheaper ones are a "piggyback" style that just attach over the factory balancer. THe more exspensive ones actualy replace the dampner. The piggyback style are prone to warping if not torqued down properly and loctited in place. Also they interfere with any aftermarket timing adjusters. ALSO not sfi approved. Everone will agree the difference is worth it for the better ones. I have the Steeda ones and they work great.All will make about the same 7-9 rwhp.

youre just paying for names. seriously, theyre billet discs that you bolt up, kinda hard to **** it up, and too simple to say countless hours were spend on RnD.

i have the march udp's. i had them in my closet for a long ass time waiting for a rainy day that i knew would come (you know, the day you want to work on the car but have nothing to install). well i finally did, took a hour or so. pretty much wasted, as there werent even any sotp gains on teh butt dyno. my alternator pully looks nice though.

just sayin, dont expect much. im sure they help in some way, shape or form, and its a cheap bolt on, so might as well do it anyways.

 

[steveb24]

are the march pulleys the "piggy back" style pulleys?

 

[COramprat]

They are good if you are looking for maybe a tenth at the track. I don't like them myself but if you want them go with the Steeda or ASP...they are the ones that replace the crank pulley.

You know, I always agreed with you about that. Then last weekend, at a dyno day, an '01 GT put down 6 more hp and 5 more torque than I, with only dumps and underdrives. (Not like I have a ton of mods, but I expected to be equal to him at the very least.)

 

[steveb24]

its funny why ppl are so against a proven and very cheap mod..heck..i just bought the steeda pulleys of a member on stangnet today for 100 bux. cant beat that for at least 6 rwhp..and ive seen up to 12 on a dyno sheet

 

[DropTopPony]

Steeda pulleys are a proven mod, 7-8 hp for under 200 dollars. Thats alot for a modular bolt on. I just sold a new set for 130 shipped so deals are out there.
I don't know anyone who ever had an issue with properly installed Steeda pulleys.

Not to hijack the thread or anything but I am goin S/C and i need some stock pulleys if anyone knows where to get some let me know

I kind of agree...I had them on my car and pulled them off. 2 alternators and 2 batteries in 2.5 years was too much. Now I drive 30K a year so it may have something to do with the quicker wear but I won't do it again.

KT,

Do you actually know anything about . . . well anything? You drive a completely stock GT, yet you're quite the expert in regards to goin' fast. I expect that you have a buddie that sweeps the floor at the local speed shop that keeps you in the loop . . .

Steveb24,

I went the Steeda route myself (prior to my blower). I chose Steeda because they also offer a timing adjuster that fits within their crank pulley. I also did not use the alternator pulley because I've got a fairly serious audio system . . . I did have to pull these both off prior to installing the blower and just haven't gotten around to selling them.

yessss the redheaded stepchild of newer mustangs (as far as performance goes) a STOCK, AUTO, CONVERTIBLE. he says he will never put any pullies on his car, but will he ever put ANYTHING on his car?
