Well, finally got my UDP installed.
It is great!
Just as others have noted, acceleration in each gear is smoother and more effortless. I'll get it dyno'd later this week. But, the butt dyno tells me it was definitely worth it.
Biggest difference was in my launch. I'll definitely have to adjust after the race I ALMOST had.
Pulled up next to an old style 300zx turbo. I revved, he looked over and told me not to bother racing unless I had a turbo (trying to impress his girl)! He wouldn't race, so I launched anyway. It was a halfhearted launch - I revved to 3k and walked out the clutch. Normally, I don't spin too much. The tires broke and spun VERY easily; as bad as I've had them do in a while. Broke alot more when I shifted to second as well. Good thing he wasn't racing me! LOL

Don't forget the belts AND a new crank seal is recommended (from Nissan).

Because of that concern, I got the BLACK pulley. It is smaller, but I don't think they'd notice it readily. Now if you get a BLUE pulley, I think they might notice!!!

You sound like you're having SC problems... but without the SC.

Broke alot more when I shifted to second as well. Good thing he wasn't racing me! LOL

Did you do the install yourself? Is it a "do-it yourself" type MOD? Would $100 dollars be reasonable for a mechanic to charge to install it?
Anyway, i hope the performance is also noticeable on my automatic.

p.s. i cant decide between the INTAKE or SSLines+Pads
help me i am going MAD

Does anyone with the UDP have a system as well?? I'm just wondering if this seriously takes away from your electrical system. I have a decent sized system and I'm wondering if adding a UDP will rob me of some serious sounds.
