Default UDPs

Is it really worth it? They seem kinda expensive for what it does, I'm trying to find some non-forced induction, generally inexpensive things I could put into my pretty stock GT that could get some more hp out of it. is a UDP worth it?

i guess if your planning on doing an assload of bolt on's but from riding in a stang with and without them couldnt tell a difference,but if your planning on going all out on bolt ons,then i would say yes.

If you are never, or at least for a long time, getting a supercharger, then yeah, get them.

I"ve heard the feeling of them to be mainly noticable right when you put them on, and it's the feeling you get when you've ran the car for 2 hours with the a/c on and then turn it off, it's that amount of 'gain'

Yes I've put them on mine and if they do nothing else they give a little better gas mileage.The water pump,alternator,and power steering pump will last longer also just because they don't spin as fast.
Feelable power gains?Nope,but there is a gain and every little bit helps.

Look for Steeda UDP. They are the best. Only like 180 brand new. You can get them used too. Just don't get the piggyback styles from other companies.

underdrive pullies are worth it unless you are blown.... i have ridden in a couple gt's with them before and after and it feels alittle better... felt like it pulled harder in the mid range from what it seemed...

They're cheap and add HP. Worth it in my book.

Are any n/a 2v bolt-ons worth it?? Haha, I mean cai's aren't really worth the price imo. But its the combination of all the bolt-ons that is important.
