    Underdirve pulleys, Difference in brands/power?

    I keep eyeing up the mr gasket underdrive pulleys at the advanced store in town. Only $80. They are cnc machined,painted black? Am I really gonna get better power from march or ford motorsport ones????

    just my .02 worth....doesnt make much difference which brand the diameters are all pretty close from brand to brand and all i ever put on my car was the crank and water pump pulley....never messed with alternator one .... too many charging issues and if u have an aftermarket stereo i definitly would not put alternator one on
    It is not the critic who counts,the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,who strives valiantly,who knows the great enthusiasms,the great devotions,who spends himself for a worthy cause; who,at the best,knows,in the end,the triumph of high achievement,and who,at worst,if he fails,at least he fails while daring greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

      If you're going to have a turbo-car *cough* you need to keep the cooling system operating at fullspeed.

        Just throw in a 180* stat when you do pulleys. Not sure if people use them with turbo cars or not?

          The reason you avoid using the under-drives with a lot of turbo-setups is because you want the volume of the water flow.

          Heat goes into a Forced-induction setup a lot more quickly than it does a N/A setup. The "compressing air thing" does it I guess.

          So anyway, yeah, ya wanna keep the volume up between the radiator and the engine. Spinning the water-pump slower will decrease that volume. Ergo, leading to more problems later on down the line.

              I guess I thought that "Underdrive pullies" were only under driving the crank (larger) and over driving the water pump and alternator (smaller).

                Yeah you get a huge alt pulley, small crank pulley, and huge water pump pulley all in all its worth it! ya feel the low end torque right away! Put the pulleys on then drive for a week with them on. Take them off after that and drive around once, you'll feel the power loss! Get er done, pulleys are waiting!

                      Not real sure about 5.0 applications, but you may want to look at Steeda or some of the other non-piggyback systems.

                            I recieved the "Git R Done" DVD for my Birthday... it was so red-neckish (can be funny) and stupid (can also be funny) that I couldn't stand it.

                            He spends the last half of his act making fun of retarded people. (Not funny.)

                            Nothing like picking a target that can't defend themselves.

                            thinks he has a small weiner.
