you want the kind of underdrive pulleys that aren't piggyback style, meaning they replace all of your pulleys instead of running off one of the stockers (i believe the crank). I know steedas are good, but I am pretty sure BBKs are piggyback style.

Wow, I thought the BBK's were a piggyback, did you really notice that much of a difference?

The March ones we just received I am VERY impressed with. They are a 3 pully kit, and are much better looking than the STeeda pulleys. I also am impressed with how much less they weigh, they must only weigh about 5 lbs total, compared to Steedas 15-20lbs?

True...but the March Pulleys are the piggyback style, which means you have to put your stock crank pulley with vibration dampner back on on top of the pulley new pulley...so any gain you have in weight loss is negated by the fact you have to put the stock one (which weighs a ton!) right back on...

Pullies will not make as much power on a mod motor as they do on a 5.0. Ford did a better job on the mod motors and tightend things up. I did pick up 1.5 mph in the 1/4 with my pullies.
I went with Steeda's, avoid the piggyback one's.
