Get what? Underdrive pulleys or gears? Why?
The UDP's. That was your original question, right?

Why? Why not?
May as well get some CMCV Deletes while you're at it. [8D]

Cool. So the UDP's would be the better investment? Will it add to a noticeable difference? I just question all of the deligation of my cash money lol! Thanks for the help!

Go for it. The UDPs are well worth it. They don't cost much ad give you an immediated performance increase. Best part is it doesn't require a tune and you get a little better gas mileage.

if you need instructions, here's a write up I did when I installed mine. It has some things to look out for and all the tools you need.

UDP are worth it as long as you are not installing a Monster Audio system with amps, subs and 100 speakers
I have run Roush UDP for two years now and no problems, for the money they are a good mod next to a Tune and CAI..

Gears are awsome fordrag racing I went with 4.10's and I am a Daily Driver on highways and it's not bad.

Charge motion Deletes are another good HP per dollar mod, then a nice MID pipe with hi flow cats (if your state requires inspections) then go for some CHE LCA UCA mods for more traction coupled with somedrag radials.
oh and the Aluminum Drive shaft is another seat of the pants type mod like pulleys, less rotational mass and dump that two peice 0 crap45 lbstocker.

Just my two cents..

Wheels/tires are on my 'coming down the road' list. Some quality wheels and rubber will cost some $$$! [sm=headbang.gif]

As a side note, once I installed 4.10s, all of my wheel hop dissappeared.
