Default Underdrive pulleys, CAI and tuner

Hey guys got a couple of decisions to make and wonder if you all can help. I just received my Steeda CAI and getin ready to purchase a tuner. My toss up is between Bama or Steeda tunes. As for underdrive pulleys, has anyone had any issues with their car running warmer with them and are they worth it. I had underdrives on my old foxbody and it always seemed to run alot hotter in the summer with the a/c on. Thanks

AM/Bama has the edge IMO.

UDP's shouldn't cause any issues with your AC and charging system unless you're pushing some heavy duty power thru your alternator when sitting at idle at which point you'll be loading the engine a bit more mechanically and canreduce your idle speed, compounding things. But IMO it shouldn't be a problem otherwise.

lifetime tunes is hard to beat. I had bama tunes with my CAI and they were not only fast but had great customer service.

Ok thanks guys, guess I will go with bama tunes. Still undecided about UDP's because I fixin to install my stereo system pretty soon and since it will be pulling the car down the UPD's may not be the way to go right now.

Bama is the way to go!

And you should probably hold back on the UDPs
if you are going to install an aftermarket stereo
system; no significant gain there anyway.
I would also recommend Optima Yellow-top battery
for that purpose.
