Default udp

udp's are really never talked about on this forum, and i was just wondering if they are worth the 230 that they are asking for them on v6mustangstuff.com
what are the pros and cons
thanks in advance

yup, get it, but call before you order and make sure it's in stock, everyone tends to sell out pretty quick. It took me a while to find one.

If you are going to get a HUGE stereo then I probably wouldn't get a UDP. If your audio setup is similar to the mach460 system or smaller then I can tell you'll that you will not have a problem (I didn't).

No problems at all. My gas mileage has increased a bit too.

My 42% makes the headlights VERY dim at the stoplights, but I have a big stereo and a ton of other stuff running, for a true DD car I'd go with a 25%.

Well, it is a True DD, but I just got rid of my sub/amp in favor of some LT's XD, almost never use AC unless its miserably hot AND raining, and she seems to stay at or over 1,500 RPM (unless at a stoplight). Still go with the 25% or do ya think I'd be able to get away with the 42?

I can't decide personally. But I've heard a good portion of the gain isn't actually from under-driving the accessories but from the lighter weight (udp) on the end of the crank which is why the difference in gains for the two is so minimal. Just hearsay.
