ive never been a big fan of underdrives. The results from 4.6l 4v underdrive pulleys have been as impressive as 2ish hp lol. I dont think they are worth the money. Also your slowing down some of the important things you need water pump and alternator.

I have them on my 5.0. I noticed a pretty good gain in power after installing them. It does cause your lights to dim at idle and if you have alot of extra's in your car (such as stereo system) it will doom your battery. I had to replace my battery about 6 months after installing mine. But then again that was the same battery that came with my car back in '95 and this was just last year I replaced it. I'm satisfied with my pullies tho.

haven't had problems with my pullies since i installed them....close to 2 years ago.

....i noticed a power gain....well...not really power....just the engine has less of a load on it, so the engine seems to rev faster.

go with Steeda. I noticed a difference. I say they are worth it. Try to find them used.

If you're gonna pay full price, it's probably not worth it. I got a set of pulleys along with a timing adjuster for $75. I had both the pulleys and the t/a installed at the same time, and I did feel a pretty good difference.
