Well, according to the dyno, and Dougs tune.....around 224 rwhp. Sound about right?

Also, according to this, it dosent disable your components (i.e. ac, power steering), simply reduces the power used to operate them. So they would still be functional. Correct here? If this is the case, it is definitely on the list of mods for me.

 

30rwhp from a tune?
i would say with a good tune you would gain 12rwhp. so you would be at 206rwhp.

And yes, all your accessories wills till work, they will just spin slower.

 

I saw a bone stock (except exhaust) v6 5 speed firebird run a 14.9 at the track the other night. But he took his belt completely off, dunno how smart that is lol. Im sure he gained 20-25rwhp from just doing that.

 

Thanks. No, not from just a tune, dougs tune with CAI and pulleys.

 

Hmmmm... Pros and Cons on the pulleys from those in the know?

 

My understanding is it provides less power to items like AC, power steering, heater, ets. So maybe the car will be less warm or cool? Not really sure here, I have never put pulleys on a car before.

Anyone do this before?

 

Previous experiece has been favorable with pulleys. In your situation, you should not have a problem. Unless your are running a competition stereo of 1 billion watts. Cooling issues with car should be finewitha near stock motor. I heard they are pricey for the Stangs 4.0. Good luck!

 

I did on my old 5.0. I wouldn't recommend it. I didn't notice a big gain and my car ran hotter. I ended up going through a couple of alternators also, long story. It's not worth the money and problems it could cause you.

 

yeah the crank pulley is expensive since it's the whole darn thing including the balancer (???)

 

actually the PHP kit is an alternator pulley and shorter belt so you can skip the A/C.... so power steering and water pump should be the same speed...
