I contacted UR about making one for us SCed guys. I said 'how about a pulley that is stock diameter but lightened?'. He said, 'would you beleive we have one in developement right now?'. So we'll see. It's been a month now so tonight I left a message for the engineer in charge. We'll see...

You know, I don't think alot of people realize this about the UDP. The way it works, it should change your car's torque curve in a completely linear fashion. That is, everywhere on your torque curve, with a UDP, it will be + 5 points upwards, so to speak. Because of that, when you drive with a UDP, the only time you should really feel the effect of the UDP is when you just start accelerating. After that, your car should feel exactly the same b/c the torque will increase and decrease just as it did before without the UDP.
In a nutshell, it probably works, but isn't half as noticeable as other mods. So, I would suggest doing it as a very last mod.

I have a 2000 5-speed and had the UDP installed two weeks ago. My seat of the pants performance review is that it revs faster, pulls better off the line, and pulls better when you are cruising on the highway and need to pass/accelrate.
It has met my expectations.
I'm waiting on a Y and B pipe from Warpspeed.

agreed.. faster revs for us auto peeps.. i did not notice as much because it was after my intake and y pipe install.. but there is a difference.

i would say on the butt dyno.. a slipping clutch will give about 10 hp more in the 4500 rpm range because when i hammered it.. it would be dead till 4500 rpms.. it would jsut shoot off like a rocket..

while we are on the subject..
when i had my A/F gauge install.. it would seem like it was going up and down with my stereo.. and i tell you.. i didn't need an EQ after all.. it was like the A/F gauge made everything brighter.. better frequency range.. you could just see it going up and down..
i would say.. with my ear (butt dyno) estimation.. i was getting about 10 more decibels on my A/F gauge

HAHAH, oh my G-D, you have this mod too, I had this mod and I loved it, the engine was reving so fast, even when I was in gear, it was the best mod by far, but then I put in a new clutch and the mod went away

come to think of it.. Matt got his highest dyno numbers on his slipping centerforce clutch..
we might be on to something here

I believe the benefits of the UDP are complemented very well with those of an aluminum flywheel. I guess that would be an example of a "family group" modification. Another example of a family group modification would be a CAI, y-pipe, r/t cat, and catback exhaust system. The benefit of the family group is greater than the sum of its parts.

You and I are in the same boat with the wants/needs of mods (cept VB but..) as our tastes run along the same lines for the most part.
