I'm ordering Steeda CAI combo, I got a few questions before I do that. As far as the "Steeda Underdrive Pulleys" are they really worth getting with the CAI or can I wait.

Right now I'll be able to purchase the CAI only, and the pulleys later down the road, but wondering if I should hold off to get the CAI and the pulleys at the same time.

 

You can hold off. Of course you see more gains at once buy doing everything at the same time, but for the most part it's not going to be anything beyond belief once you do it. Just wait. Be sure to get a tuner with that intake.

 

i did the tuner, gears, and steeda intake at once and i was amazed! did the steeda pulleys two weeks later, and did notice some gains. Im saying do it seperately and see the difference each one does

 

I did not notice any difference with the pulleys, to be honest.
But I installed heavier wheels that same day, so it might have been a compromise.

 

I don't see any reason to wait on the CAI until you get the pulley's. The CAI/Tune is the #1 mod and the one you will notice the most. Most of the rest of the mods less noticable. I noticed a little with the pullies. Car seemed to rev a little easier. To me, they are worth the money

 

I noticed a little better RPM quickness with the UDP. I'd recommend them whenever you have the funds. You don't have to get them at the same time as the CAI+Tune.

It would probably be better to space them out if you wanted to really try and get a feel for the power each "mod" will give you.

 

Thanks a lot for the info, looking forward to buy the CAI soon.

 

Definately do the CAI & tune comb first. The UDP's do not require a retune and can be done whenever you want. The CAI & tune will net you ROUGHLY 15-25 or more RWHP. The UDP's might net you 5.

 

go for the tune and cai first....the udps, IMO, made my motor rev smoother....

 

I just did the pullies after having an intake & tune for a couple years, and I noticed the difference. I had lowered my idle down to ~650 rpm from 750 stock a while ago. The car didn't quite handle it well; occasionally it would try to adjust down to 650 and it would keep dropping down past 500, then stutter and jump to 900. With the pullies, it's really stable. I also noticed the smoother operation; something I wasn't expecting. No real reason to do them at the same time though. Get the intake & tune first.
