under drive pulleys?
 
has anyone here experienced any problems with your electrical system after installing pulleys? i have heard they can cause a world of problems,are they worth there weight in gold on the mod motors, why kind of hp gains?

You will notice a slight decline on the charge\discharge guage. But even at idle in stop and go traffic, it's still well into the normal range.

I ran motorsport pullies for over a year bafore I put on my blower and never had any problems at all.

Expect somewhere around 5-7 hp gain at the rear wheels.

Hope this helps,

Yup, I bought Hammer's FMS pulleys a while back and aside from having to rebuild the engine twice I have had no problems http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Seriously they work great and even in these 100+ KS temps lately I have had no problems - even with the AC on.
(no charging probs either)
Just food for thought...

thanks for the info guys,think im gonna go ahead and get them,oh yeah,what are the best kind? or are they all good?

I have no first hand experience with Steeda but i've heard that they are awesome. One thing to consider with Steeda is buying the timing adjuster and the pulleys at the same time and saving time and money on install (since they kind of go hand in hand). It's a good idea to cluster mods from the same company for fitment reasons so if you were planning on going with the timing adjuster I would go with Steeda. Otherwise the FMS (Ford Motorsport), March, or ASP would be other good choices.
