Default Underdrive Pulley's for 4.0 ?

I was thinking about getting the steeda underdrive pulley's for the stang. I was wondering though if anyone had already done this? If so, which ones did you get because steeda's are like $280. They say you get about 10 HP from them as they reduce friction i guess?

Any info from you more experienced guys would be sweet. Worth it or no? And if so which ones do you suggest?

I suggest: http://www.stangmods.com/ASP-Underdr...226-526400.htm . Comes with the new belt already that's needed for the udp. Should net a little bit of rwhp. From reviews, I hear it is a noticable mod and definitely worth the money. Supposed to net you +1-2mpg too.

Default Too much money too little bang..

We tested a UDP on the dyno At Dougs, we got 4 lb ft of torque and 6 RWHP. The UDP is a lot of money for a little bang. But that being said, you will notice a slight improvement in the ability of the engine to rev a tad bit quicker. I also noticed a slight ( and I mean very slight increase in steering effort. No overheating or battery charging issues were noted. Ran the car down here in Alabama for about 2 years without incident. Removed the pulley to install the "X" Charger. So if you can swallow the price for a few HP go for it.

How much would it cost me to get it installed? I'v installed my own N2O Kits, intake throttle body etc...so is it in my ballpark to do myself?
