UDP
I am told that it is a no no to install a UDP on our 08/09 Bullitts. Some people all ready installed them, without having any problems.
I guess what I need is more input on , If I should or shouldn't do a UDP

I doubt you could even tell the difference with the additional 7rwhp, or could you? Not being a smart a$$ here, just wondered if 7 rwhp is even noticable?

The noticeable part of the UDP addition for me was the quickness of the rev during driving. I have a short throw and always ****** second...third, right around 6100 (tuned for 6500 redline). Once I installed the UDPs I hit the rev limiter a few times. My timing was off based on my experience without them. I assume if I'm a half second behind on the shift, then the car is 1/2 second faster.
I know 7hp isn't noticeable, but take away 7hp and you'll notice something is missing. I did get better hwy fuel economy and combined with a CAI, tune, UDP, proper tire inflation and cruising in 5th at 67mph I can consistently get 27+ MPG highway.
Now, burning the tires and snatching gears puts me at 20mpg city (to and from work).
20/27 from a 300 Hp car seems reasonable.

UDPs don't require a tune, and the Bullitt engine is a base GT engine with a CAI and tune from Ford, so since they don't require a tune, I don't see how putting UDPs on the Bullitt would be an issue.

From one of the Ford Engineers :
The crank damper is retuned for incresed rpm capability. I wouldn't recommend changing it.

I think a damper is a damper as long as it is of good quality. Ford's are cheap with a rubber insert. Aftermarket is much better made. I would put UDPs on my Bullitt without even worrying about it. Also I have read that the part number is the same on all really late model Mustangs, but I have not confirmed this yet. I will be looking into it.
