Underdrive Pullies, are they worth it?

Pullies are one of the best mods you can do. Just by installing them (it was my first mod), I could feel the seat of the pants difference. The gear and the pullies won't get you there alone, you need sticky tires. The gear is a good choice, my buddy put a 4.10 gear in his stock aod notchback with stock trans and it would chirp going into second after the gear change. I would try getting a larger stall speed like 2500-2800, you will pick up some et there also. You would be in the 13's for sure with the addition of the above mods, stall, pullies, and gear. Buy a quality torque converter though, like a stallion, or the like, make sure you spend the extra penny for a good torque converter.

BTW, I would say the pullies add at least a tenth in the 1/4 mile. I have the ford motorsport pullies. Did you bump your timing too? If not then you should, this is worth a tenth or two (assuming that traction is there).
