I think the dyno is 5-8 hp.

Not sure about the track yet. (Waiting for cool weather)

You can feel it in 1st and 2nd. Not much after that.

Does UDP increase fuel economy? I am really curious because it lower down the power consumption of your car.

Theoretically, it could increase fuel economy. Although it would probably be a negligible difference

It affects the performance about as much as the weather. Like driving your car on a warm day (OEM pully) to driving it on a cool day (UDP).If someone installed it on your car without you knowing, the car would "feel" quicker. Don't expect a big kick in the pants after install though. Since you're 5-speed you'll probably feel it more than us auto's.
