What exactly does it do? Does it just bolt on? Is it worth it?

 

As far as I understand it, the pulleys provide less wasteful operation of all the belt driven engine components, thus giving you more "go" power. You'd have to get in the engine bay and remove the serpentine belt and the old pulleys, then reinstall the new pulleys and the belt. Some people supposedly get +10RWP from 'em. This explanation sucks, I know, but I'm sure someone will jump on here and give you a better one.

 

Well I don't have a technical explanation but I had one on my 98 hyundai Tiburon and it made the car feel quicker. It's like it almost feels lighter. I'm considering getting one for my Stang as well. I would go with Steeda....off of AM--"Steeda has an Innovative Design. Unlike any other underdrive pulley, Steeda used their unique partnership with Ford to create an innovative design that provides proper torsional vibration dampening characteristics for your 4.6L engine. And unlike other manufacturers that use a less expensive "piggyback" design, Steeda's one piece pulley is designed for maximum efficiency, durability, and power."
And the price is right. With the proper tools and Taco Bill's write up I think anyone can do it. http://www.americanmuscle.com/stunpusy2gt.html

 

Cool thanks guys. Since a cam job is beyond my means ATM I think I'll do the pulleys. =D

 

Had them. Took them off and sold them.

 

Why is that? Ps short shifter came in today, hopefully it'll go in this week

 

No noticeable difference in performance and my alternator started charging weak at idle. Not worth it for me.


You will love the short throw shifter!

 

Yea man prolly won't be installed til like thurs or fri tho :/ bays are SLAMMED. Pulleys are supposed to improve throttle response tho right?

 

Like I said. I felt no difference. Waste of money to me. Now if it only cost like 50 bucks then I would have left them.

 

In your opinion what are some good cheap mods. I already have CAI exhaust and the shifter...

 

My favorite mod is deleting the cats. Sound is greatly improved.

Right now for the old two valves you can get a set of cams for 300 bucks I believe.

Modmax.com is my new favorite mustang parts site thanks to glenn.

My next favorite mod is the Sct tuner. Easy to do and great improvement. I picked a tuner up at a pawn shop for 120 bucks

 

Always hated that in my older cars. At a stoplight at night in the rain. Lights, defrost, wipers... pull up to stop and the lights dim and the fan slows at idle.
So I'm not interested in pulleys - though many say they can't tell a difference in the fan & lights, etc.

 

That would be modmaxracing.com.

Lol oops my bad.

 

Is there a cat delete kit?

 

Called an off road xpipe

 

Looking one up now haha

 

Just keep in mind you will need a tuner to turn off the rear o2 sensors and you might have to put the cats on for emissions testing. I don't have to but some ppl claim they do.

 

I was looking at these... http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...-or-xpipe.html

Can I just bolt this on and drive or will I need other parts or the tuner?

 

Yea no testing in Florida, still need the tuner tho?
