I heard they really dont do much, maybe a couple RWH, tops?? Is that so because I wouldnt want to waste the time to install, a little $, and possibility of charging issues if you cant even feel a difference? I was going to do them until I kept hearing this.

how about instead of lying to your father and gambling the trust he has placed in you, you find some other modifications that you feel happy honestly explaining to your dad.

I'll save you the trouble JD, there is a big long thread on here where JD explanes how and what they do, and what if any problems that you will have. Just do a search for it and you will have all the info that you will need to make a informed decision to buy or not to buy UD pullys. I am going to be getting mine in the next couple of weeks.

I would tell him the truth. It changes the speed that the belt moves to drive the accessories at a more efficient speed. This means less wear and tear on the engine, more power to the wheels, it will also make those accessories last longer. Your engine should rev more freely as well. An added benefit is that you "may" get better gas milage.

How about some kick *** tires for the back as wide as you can go. they serve both a safety and a performance purpose. plus they look sick as hell and pretty damn intimidating

do you want to be able to do burnouts or launch at full throttle with little or no tire spin.
