Who regrets getting underdrive pulleys?

personally i can't justify 1hp for $150
but then people have done worse..
2hp $175 (RT CAT)
3hp $500 (Catback)
7hp $800 (ECU)
but we all seem to like building our mods list with BS so why not.. lets add another one to that growing list

I have dynoed and track tested few mods.
The UDP is really only worth 1-2hp at the most on an NA auto.
The same goes for the RT cat and catback.
The best bang for the bucks so far is CAI, Y-pipe and the test pipe.

Do you guys actually have the UDP (Sprintmax)?
Sure the power gain isn't much, but it's still a good mod to do. The engine revs faster consistently throughout the powerband and coasting in gear (engine braking) kicks in faster when you let up on the gas. Off the line, I thought the improvements would be better. My friend with a Ford Probe had phenomenal gains on his car. I don't regret doing this mod. I think the majority of the people don't regret it. But to answer your question, I don't think you'll gain anything on the top end. I would only think it would free up 1 or 2 HPs at best, but it should raise the whole function throughout the dyno graph.

Re: Do you guys actually have the UDP (Sprintmax)?
Like i said.. I just can't justify spending that amount of money for 1hp.. and like i said before .. others have done worse... Ignition, ECU, catback, pulley..
Look at it this way..
Pulley - $175 (2 hp)
HKS/Venom Ignition - $200/$400 (0 hp)
ECU - $800 (7 hp)
Catback - $500 (3 hp)
RT Cat - $200 (1 hp)
Thats over $2000 for 13hp? i don't know about you.. but i would rather buy a 60 shot NOS kit for $375 and get 60 hp or save up $1300 more and buy a Supercharger and gain up to 70 hp more..
Some people like to waste their money.. I for one am not one of them... Thank you and good night![laugh](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/laugh.gif)

Well, I like to do mods that have good returns. The pulley for me is good for racing/spirited driving, as well as everyday driving. It's there no matter how you drive. I've never been comfortable with NOS and I'd probably only use it on the track. The pulley gives you gains from the beginning to the end of your powerband. I guess SprintMax was address your question by you asking for top end power. However, he does not regret getting the mod, as he does not have it. I do see your point SprintMax and I agree with you. If the pulley was not as expensive and had a higher return of horsepower as well as torque, it would be a great mod. I don't think it's a bad mod to do though.

None taken but to counterpoint your arguement, I have a handful of .2 sec less times
not to say the udp is worth $h*t, not my arguement.
If your really curious i'll sell my used one in a few weeks.

lets do the math
If you do $3000 divided by the 70 hp that you get out of a supercharger, that comes to $43 per 1 horsepower gain. So technically the supercharger is the biggest "bang for your buck" mod.

how about 100 hp for $380?

Re: Re: Re: Re: lets do the math
the supercharger is over $4000...
i have a question about that NOS kit... I am interested in NOS too... does that kit automatically put itself on like when u go WOT? u just arm it and then it sprays itself? and then shuts off after like 8-10 seconds of us? then another question... why does it say not to use on supercharged cars? I do not have one yet but i was thinking about the future and I think I am going to get one... and I will probably be running both... Which kit is ok to use with Supercharger and NOS together?
Where do I get the tank filled in NYC area?
and how much does it cost to fill the tank?
and for how long does each tank last?
thanks

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: lets do the math
well the S/C kit for the 95 - 99 is $3390
NOS questions - http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/nitro2.html
tank refills are usually $3.50 per lb .. thats about $35 a fill up..
they say don't use them together because most stock engines can't handle that power.. but as we know.. Some people here have done it.. and Supra's have done it too.. so its possible.. but with engine work if yoru engine is not built for that power
