Default Underdrive pulleys

Do you gain anything with them (1/4, MPG,etc.) which ones do you use?

You should gain about 10hp and get better gas milage. After my friend installed his he said he got a few extra MPG.

Go with Steeda. Although BBK is about $70 cheaper, i'm going with steeda.

Yea, go with Steeda. Everyone here seems to like Steeda UDP's the most. And the Steeda pullies are Non-Piggyback type. The BBK's are Piggyback type. That's the biggest difference between the two.

Hmm I dont think 10 hp, I'd say about 3-5 rwhp.
+1 on staying away from the piggybacks....go steeda if you wanna get UDP's

but IMO UDP's really don't do anything.... I would save that 200 bucks towards something else. And if you wanna get FI in the future UDP's aren't good for superchargers.

i hope you dont live in the southwest where its hot, cause your ac wont work near as well. +1 to steeda, never heard of too many problems with theirs, and they are non-piggyback as stated earlier. As for hp, gains will be minimal.

I have a set of barely used Steeda UDP's for 99-01.5 for $150 shipped. PM if interested.

They came off when the blower went on.
