$185 on the 3.73's and
$245 on the 4.10's?
That's a pretty cheap price you got there. I wish I could match it.
i guess it's all about volume...

Remember the gears made by Motive are cheaper and whine a lot more. I can't remember the letter at the end of the part number that identifies this, maybe an "M" which is manufactured abroad and the "A" at the end of the part number which is manufactured in the US. The gears that are manufactured abroad have had many problems with noise. They are normally about $75 cheaper than the ones made in the US. If you do a seach you'll find the right letters I'm talking about and you can ask whomever is selling those gears which ones they are.
CR.. When do you think the UDPs will ship?
Sounds good. Thanks!

The Steeda pulleys are different than the Roush, The Roush pulleys are made in Australia by Power bond and the Steeda pulleys are made in the U.S.A. Also the Steeda pulleys have a better frequency tune to the crank than the Roush. They have a lifetime guarantee as well.

Well in that case ? this changes everything and I honestly was not aware the Roush pulleys are made in Australia by Power bond, therefore being the Steeda's are made in the US and have a better freuquency tune to the crank ? then I'll be going with the Steeda's instead and thanks for the tip

The replacement bolt is identical thread, as well as underhead length. It's actually a nicer deal to replace the bolt, rather than do a hack job on the stock stud, but if you do that right it's nice anyway. Either way it doesn't matter. Roush and Steeda both make nice pulleys, and that bolt/stud shouldn't have any affect on the install or quality ratings of either product.
As far as purchasing these pulleys:
We can take VISA, MC, DISC, AMEX over the phone, or they can send paypal to htspeed@comcast.net for $192.99. When I have recieved 5+ I can ship them out.
THANKS, HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THEM!

Rocky,
You'll be very happy with them! We did them for that guy RubberEater not too long ago. They fit nicely, and the install is not that bad with the right tools on hand. That, in conjunction with the Pypes O/R H *cough* that we sell for 170 shipped *cough* you'll be looking at a serious performance increase!

So other than the BBK's being aluminum, are there any other differences between them and the Steeda pulleys that are worth the additional price ?

BBK's are shiny. Seriously, I am impressed because Steeda is usually not usually low-priced. Not to say they are over-priced, either. But these underdrive pulleys are fairly inexpensive for the quality piece that you get.
To be honest, I like the Steeda pulleys better than the BBK. Sometimes it's funny like that, you would think the BBK's are a world of difference, but other than not being black, they don't provide a difference in HP gains.
