Underdrive pulley...

Is this a good mod to do? I have done it on other cars but not on anything of this type (V6, AT).

Is this worth the effort on the Maxima?
Does it affect your drivability on Auto Tranny cars?
Is the $ worth the amount of HP/Lb~Ft?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Later, TI

its like the 3rd to last mod that I'd do. Money is better spent on ECU upgrade or y-pipe, those are the mods that make a real difference (in power) IMO. Catback is mostly for sound, as is the intake.

i had motostorm UDP but i had to sell it (along with some other mods) cuz i lost my job if i didn't lose my job i would definetly put it on. it'll help the VQ to rev easier throughout the entire RPM range.

I saw 2-5 HP across the band average around 3 1/2 maybe? (at the wheels)

it might add a bit more depending on what other mods going at the same time.
