UDPs
BBK, Saleen, Steeda...Are there differences? Which do you recomend? Also, I've heard there may be differences between the 05-07 and 07-09 GTs? Any help would be appreciated, and I guess most importantly are they worth it...I'm not looking for 234 rwhp, but a little less ac drag here in h*ell (Houston) would be cool...Thanks in advance...

I have the Steeda UDP on mine. Didn't really notice much of a difference to be honest. I'm sure there is a difference, but it's not very noticeable. Even with that being said, I would recommend them because they are relatively cheap. Keep your stock balancer if you ever plan on supercharging.

UDP's will supposedly free-up about 3-5 RWHP. The average driver won't notice that with the Butt Dyno.
I highly doubt that UDP's will make ANY difference in your mileage. Since I've driven the exact same 420 mile run, stopping at the same gas stations, driving with cruise control at the same speeds almost every 2 weeks for almost 2 years I can tell you that you can do NOTHING to the car and still see swings of 4 MPG or more difference from trip to trip. There are so many variables I'd be out of breath. The 4 MPG that ronniegibson1978 is referring to is NOT UDP related.

Whether they help or not, give better gas mileage, or feed you breakfast in the morning, I love mine! They look hella sharp!
Saleen FTW!!!!
I do notice a bit of quicker revs, but I do have a good tune too.

A tidbit of info though for those choosing the Saleen UDP's, that being, familiarize yourself with your OEM alternator and how it's pulley is actually on the alternator itself. There are 2 ways these pulleys can be attached to the alternator because of 2 running versions of alternators. One version has a bolt that you spin off and the pulley comes off, and the second version has a SPLINED pulley WITHOUT a bolt(like mine). The Saleen UDP is useless in the second application, because the Saleen UDP is NOT splined.
