UR pulley or CAI?

I am hungry for power and need to decide whether to buy the Underdrive Pulley or replace my Stillen air filter with a CAI. Which would be better?

CAI , search for underdrive pulley and there will be more results than you can handle.

And yes sprint will say CAI.

Good Call CLEE

Like others have said, if you already have the Stillen intake, don't worry about changing to CAI. However, DO NOT waste your money on the UDP. I made the mistake of buying the UDP and spending 5 hours installing it myself, only to notice no gain in power. My car winds up a little faster shifting through 1st and 2nd, but I have no feeling of more power. Save up another couple months and get the Cattman y-pipe. That is the best mod I've done yet for performance. Good luck.

Althought not the best mod, the udp is not that bad. CAI is definetly a great upgrade because it will sound good, but if you already have POP than don't waste money on the CAI. I agree with the y-pipe statement it's the best thing out there.

PS I'm not a UDP hater

As one of the biggest UDP supporters here I'd have to say the the CAI is a much better choice. If you're going to do the UDP, do it last. You'll notice much better gains with the CAI.

You aren't going to notice a 5 hp increase from the feel of it. Think about it, thats a 2.5% increase in the power of the engine, your cars power will fluctuate more than that based on weather conditions. If you thought it was going to make you spin the tires in 4th gear at 100mph you need to get a new hobby.
