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

Alright, as many of you know I am sixteen, and my car is under warranty. I ordered a MGW short throw am going to order a JLT this friday. I told my dad that there is one more thing i would like to get. This thing is underdrive pulleys. Now with all of the things I have asked for, my dad asked what they did. Shifter because its easier to drive, intake because the car will flow much better. What am i going to say "I want underdrives they slow down power steering and A/C [:'(]" As soon as I say slow down he is going to think i have gone mad. He is going to take the whole idea the wrong way. What do you guys think is a good excuse to give him [>:]

RE: So what is a good excuse for underdrives?
oh in the immediate future i want to remove the wing on my car, JLT intake, MGW s/s, get tb/plenum, eibach sportlines, catback(pretty farfetched for now), tint.
in the distant future: gears, rims, tint, forged rods, forged pistons,forged crank, turbo kit, cobra brake system
In the summer i will be working and saving for this stuff...
of course there are many other maintenace things i am going to have to do..but these are the things i want. There are so many things i need to learn however..and that is why i have so many threads.

so you wanna go the turbo route? one of the select few that i know that like the turbo v8. ok well what i would do is instead of catback is go to your local mufflershop and get flowmasters put on. its cheap, you might get like 2-3 more hp and itll keep you car sounding mean as ****.

i didn't think you could get any gains from mufflers?...
and why ditch a meaner sounding catback?

RE: So what is a good excuse for underdrives?
I guess you could go either way on this one... Underdrives will slow down your Alt. and A/C. I would suppose it would run a little warmer, and if it did, buy a bigger radiator. You can buy an aftermarket large All Aluminum Rad. at Napa for like $100. It flows better than the stock plastic unit, and it's got that brushed aluminum look.
Now as for things like the Crank Pulley, AKA Harmonic Dampener/Balancer, in terms of light weight pulleys, these can, or have been known to cause premature main bearing damage due to the lack of dampening.
Doesn't happen all the time, but I've seen it before. Not sure which UD Pulley set you were thinking about, or if they come w/ the Harm. Balancer, but just a head's up...
