[laserstang21]

i was told that if i put underdrive pullies on my car i will start having cooling problems and charging problems with the battery.is that true?

Steeda claims that their pullies don't piggyback.

I've had no problems but haven't noticed any gains either.

I've had my Steeda pullies on since 01 and no problems.

Save you money and put it on something else, no problem charging or cooling but no hp gain . 1-3hp maby

Just got the car back from getting steeda pullies, blisteins shock/struts and FRPP B springs. I noticed a nice SOTP. It feels like I gained low end torque and she pulls harder up top. Seems like they where worth it. I’m guessing around 10hp gain

I've had pulleys for about 6 yrs now with no issues--I am not sure I got 10hp but I DID notice a difference in how the engine revs quicker and it adds up. How do you like the springs man, got pics?

I love them. To me the drop is perfect and she rides almost like stock. I will take some pictures some time this week and then start a new thread with the pics.

Although you free up some HP, that is not really the good thing about pullies. They free up torque, which as the big man says.."wins races". You will be fine, and probably notice a difference. They are a good investment if you are going to stay N/A.

Just did a few more tests on the way home from work. I can say I notice a big torque difference between stock and the steada pulleys. For the first time I actually felt my self-being pined against the seat getting on the on ramp. When you tap the gas she seems more eager to get up and go and I have noticed this is thru all RPM ranges. So far I give them . As others have said, this is a great mod for a N/A build.
