Default Pullies

Thinking about getting some pullies for my slab. Whats the best brand for pullies on the 4.6 and would i need a smaller belt? Do underdrive pullies hurt the engine at all? And how does it effect gas mileage? Never put them on my 5.0 so dont know much about them.

Steeda, stock belt, will help your gas mileage.

edit: If your mod list is up to date, there are better mods for the money...

Yeah I hear steeda are best since they are not a piggy back style. I would honestly by something like a used sniper tuner before doing pullies. It's a great supporting mod for everything you will be doing soon and even has free data logging software!

Gears are by far the best bang for the buck your gonna get. UDPs dont really do much to be honest. The only reason i have them is cause the guy building my motor threw them on for free.
