Default delete plates

What kind of H.P. gains can I expect from adding Steeda Charge Motion delete plates ? Also how difficult are they to install, and is a tune required ? I want to add the u.d. pulley's also but can only afford one or the other, at this time, which would give me the most gain ?

You really should get a tune with them. I am not going to tell you my gains from them because every body tells me I made up my gain and my dyno numbers are lies. If you want to know my gains and don't want to attempt to flame me you can pm me and I will tell you.

ghost,
i'd go with an aluminum driveshaft first. it's about the same price and it will definitely free up 15-20 hp and the same in torque. my auto gt picked up 2 tenths 1/4 mile and you can absolutley feel the difference as soon as you hit the throttle. it is a very easy mod to do also.
total price for shaft and companion flange is about $275+labor to balance and shorten. also loses 25+lbs of rotating mass!!

How much did you pay for labor? Is it just the weight difference that frees up the horsepower?

You need to let the obsession with me go. You are pathetic. You know nothing about your car. You probably made up your times anyway newbie. Go to modulardepot.com and see what other KNOWLEDGABLE '05 GT owners got out of them. You need to get off my nuts now.
