Pulley's

Red5Ltr · 04-03-2004, 03:52 PM

I'm wondering what you guys think of pulley's and are they worth the time? Check out my mods and what would be next in your upgrades.

Thanks all

Sure, if you don't mind spending approx. $100.00. They give you a few extra horses and look good if you get them in the polished aluminum. I recommend the BBK polished aluminum under-drive pulleys.

Underdrives are the best bang for the buck besides gears. They are far and away the best mod for a mustang under a 100. You can gain 10rwhp with them!

I've never had any luck with under drive pulleys with the car having the stock alternator or water pump. I had cooling and charging problems.

Right now I've got a MARCH underdrive crank pulley, the alt pulley with a 130amp alt, and a Cobra overdrive water pump pullley (drives the pump faster). I'm very happy with this set up.

With you mods, I would start saving for a 2600-2800 stall converter for your car. That would make a huge difference.

It's funny how some cars have problems and others don't. My car had underdrives with a electrice fan and a stock water pump and never had any charging or cooling issues.

I run all three March pulleys and have never had any charging or cooling problem, although I know others have. My alternator doesn't put at as much at idle (lights dim and stuff), but once I am moving all is good and I have never had a problem starting, running my amp and stereo, etc.
