UDPs
Anyone have good or bad opinions about Under Drive pulleys?
I have heard some mixed reviews on them. I am trying to decided what my next Mod will be and right now its between UDP and a Short throw shifter. |
Get the shifter first, then the UDP.

^^x2
UDP's are good but shifter is going to be way much better |
Sweet thanks. Anyone like the Hurst Short throws?
|
UDP's are good, ran em on my 1998 V6, never a problem.
|
what do UDPs do, and are they easy to install? Sry kinda thread jackage but its under same topic right?
|
it frees up some HP.

I like my UDPs but I wish I had a manual so I could have had to choose between them and a short throw:(

I thought about UDP's, but I don't feel as if they're worth the money. They claim 8-10 horses, but I doubt it is that much. Not to mention I'm putting a small system in my car soon and I don't want to cause any problems with my accessories.
I'd go with the shifter. You probably wouldn't even notice any extra power from the UDP's, but you'd damn sure notice a better shift.

But like you said, if you're getting a system this is a mod I wouldn't do. |
do the short throw shifter first. they make a manual a little more fun to drive because of the feel and smoother shifts.
the UDP free some low end torque iirc, but regardless, get them done at a shop. my rule of thumb, if you have to ask "can i install it my self?" the chances are that you can't. |
you will diff see gains with the UDP...and they are easy to install but as for the alernator pulley, you will need a air impact to take off the bolt

I would have no problem installing it myself. Just wanted to know which one first and if they are worth it. I have done all my work so far myself and will continue to except for gears probably unless my brother is in town to help me. |
Shifter first for sure, as its something you will feel every time you drive the car. Its a first mod for a manual car for sure.
|
if you do go for a shifter. get an MGW. theyre awesome. i have a tri-ax but i drove a mustang with an mgw the other day and loved it.
|
I have not seen any MGW ones. Just looked at the MGW site and they are pretty sweet.
|
where can i get a UD alternator pulley

Trust me the stock shifter is not good after you drive your car with any aftermarket one for more then 1 minute.

Its beyond easy, plus on the late 01-04 cars we have the TR3650 tranny which has built in shift stops in the tranny so you really can't mess that up.
|
The stock shifter is a rubber baseball bat compared to an MGW shifter, just makes it so much more fun to go through the gears.
|
I'm wanting to buy an o/r x pipe for my stang next in hopes to improve the sound, but the more you guys talk the mgw shifter is looking better and better.
