underdrive pulleys - any personal experiences ?

[daylight]

i got the itch to spend some more money lol and they seem simple to install and fairly cheap, so the million dollar question is... are they worth it ?

thanks

Yes .....

I'd rather do delete plates personally

what actually are delete plates? the ford racing intake manifold has them built in already and i was going to (try) and get my hands on that this summer for sure

Underdrive pulley's are the biggest waste of money on the planet.

the steeda underdrive pulleys are a noticable difference its definately a faster revving car after they are in. Dont do delete plates as one of your first mods unless you plan on putting in a decent set of gears. if you want bang for your buck get 4.0s and youll be a happy camper. if you want something quick and easy that will make the car drive better start doing suspension

Upper and lower control arms make a world of difference and if you find a good deal you can score both for around $200.

Delete plates just for the record are this. Between the engine block and the intake manifold are you charge motion valve plates. They have a butterfly valve in them that restricts airflow, delete plates are a set of charge motion plates that lack the butterfly valve and will give you gains up high but sacrifice low end torque, hence why gt/cs said don't do it unless you have gears which will be able to compensate for the loss of low end grunt.

As for the FRPP or C&L intake manifold, they are expensive, $500+ last time i checked. Money/HP ratio they don't give you a very good payout for the money you spend, you'd be better off getting gears or something else. However on a F/I car your gains are increased due to the extra air you are pushing with that power adder so it makes getting an intake manifold more worth it, however still you can drop a pull size and be pushing your engine to its max without needing the intake manifold.

2 bolts on either side of the car and a clip for the ebrake cable.
