Underdrive pulleys?
 
I searched a few thread and not quite found the answer I want. I'm looking to get a set of under drive pulleys for my late 2001 gt and was wonder what you guys suggest. Obviously I'd like to same money and go with the SR or BBK one but steeda seams to be good quality for the price.. Pros or cons to any of them? Thanks in advance.

Steeda is the best choice, the others are good but you will probably notice a dimming of your lights and loss of battery power because their alternator pulley isn't made like Steeda's. Steeda worked with Ford so theirs is perfectly made

I would do Steeda if possible. It is best to get a style that is not piggy back, which is what SR and probably BBK are. Steeda's setup includes the crank pulley intergrated into a balancer instead of piggy back where you just bolt on the crank pulley to your stock balancer.

Steeda a little more work then? Which doesn't bother me but jw.

I would say a little less work. Even installing a normal piggy back system you have to take off the balancer. However, instead of having to bolt on the new pulley to the balancer and reinstalling it, you just install the Steeda balancer which has the pulley built in.

Hardest part will be figuring out which set to get. In mid-01 they swapped out the water pump to a different style.

I have Steeda Underdrive pulleys on my mach and I love them. From my experience with them I'd say Steeda provides a great product!
