Waste of money. Put it towards gears instead.

Not useful except as a place to introduce nitrous. Complicates other mods like STB, plenum, CAI... It'd have to be like 2" tall to be worth much in plenum volume since the area isn't very big.... gotta get the space from depth.

jeredan2003

its a complete waste of money. The first mods should always be: Shifter, Gears, Underdrive Pulleys, X Pipe, then sticky tires.

pullies are worthless. You get jack on the dyno and charging problems the rest of the time on about half the cars. I'll agree with shifter, gears, X-pipe but I'd put a good dyno tune before all those (gives you a baseline too).

jeredan2003

Yea maybe if you have those gay BBK piggyback style. I have the steedas and I felt more power.

Pullies have been proven to work. It gets better gas mileage. And the steeda crank damper is way better and lighter than stock.

OK I agree when Im sitting at a stoplight with my lights and A/C on .....my lighs go dim. But when you take off and give it gas the lights get brighter again. The problems with that are only at idle.....which most people wouldnt really care about.

Sorry....I think I just like pullies too much

Heck yea they do. I had the Predator Tuner on mine before I got the pulleys. On the predator you can see how much load is put on the engine. After I got the underdrive pulleys, the load was decreased by at least 4-5% and even more when its revving high. It showed me the decrease right on the screen.

The car seemed to get a little better MPG but you really cant tell if you really run it. One of the other nice things I noticed was that the engine seemed to run a little smoother.

Theyre much lighter than the stock pulleys cause I held both in my hands. Also the crank damper has better dampening ability. Plus its so small it is much easier on the crank.

Mine came with pulleys but when i installed them on my 95 GT i could feel a difference and when my friend installed the Steeda pulleys on his 2001 GT he could feel the difference. Also, gears should be the first on the mod to do list. Can't preach it enough.....

oh, the intake spacer...junk

cooper

I have gears, I don't want pullies, I have a shifter I just asked if anyone HAD the spacer on their car and if they liked it.

JUNK

The one part everyone agrees on.

csledd

I had the Steeda Intake Spacer in my car and I didn't notice a difference, I sold it to Lance when I got my TB and Plenum.


(ps I also have steeda pulleys and they don't effect my charging or anything at idle on my car)
