Underdrive pulley

[Surffer227]

Anyone done the underdrive pulleys, are they worth it? Especially on a mostly stock engine, or should I save up for a 8.8 or duals or something else?

[Just_John]

UDP is on my list of things to do also... I would like to see a list of available mfg's so I can compare specs and prices... are they all the same percent underdrive? Is one brand underdriven more than another?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

I didnt realize they were so much, I'm just gonna get something else, maybe a short throw or MAAYYBBEEE if I'm lucky I'll save up for a windstar intake

Short throw for sportier shifting is gotta be more fun that way!

Oh yeah they are spendy, and "bang for the buck" is really quite low compared to a Windstar or an SCT tuner. If you look at my signature you can see I did all of the basic things first. I just want to free up another 1-3 miles per gallon.

[Surffer227]

Do you need a tune with windstar intake?

[kickerofdoom]

You don't need a tune but if u want to max your performance get one. Also udp are around 200-400 for maybe 1-10 hp

[Surffer227]

So right now I have like 175-200 bucks, should I save up for somethin good like a rear end, or go short throw or somethin else...

[kickerofdoom]

Depend what are your mods and goals

Your going to need to do some serious engine work and forced induction (or a swap). If u you really want 300, start saving big money. Probably cheaper to sell it and jump into a gt or cobra or mach 1.

[Surffer227]

Well I was hoping to do straight engine, I'm prepared to do some serious engine work cause I go to an automotive school, I'm doing a complete overhaul next year and I want to buy ported heads, and a cam off of supersixmotorsports.com I was considering boring it out to a 4.2 but I kinda like the 3.8 displacement. I'm not just some 17 year old trying to go fast, I know what I'm doing, haha.

There's a kid I sold a shift knob to in town here. He's got a full 4.2 forged stroker kit, worked on heads, camshaft, the works. He made 282 hp and he doesn't know what else to do. He sunk 10 grand into the build and he's nowhere near his goal...

[Surffer227]

???? How did that cost 10grand?? Must have wayy more done

Heads, fully forged kit, transmission, drive line, rear end, fuel system, and he had someone build his short block. Its also got a custom paint job. He has over 20 grand sunk into it. Barely keeps up with the gt cars in town.

[Surffer227]

Hmm, guess I should abandon all hope then, right?

Not at all. There's lots of ways to get there. But doing it with that engine is going to be expensive. I really recommend a swap rather than building the 6. I've seen gt engines with the pi heads from junkyards for less than 300$.

[Surffer227]

Well my next two things are probly 8.8 and a short throw anyway, so I'll put some thought into my engine later

I am except 18 not 17

[kickerofdoom]

Building a engine isn't easy takes a lot of planning and no matter what size engine you have there must be planning

[Crunch9876]

If you want to keep the 6 shooter then your Hess bet is forged internal and turbos. But I recomend an engine swap

[lemons95]

don't they have some 400+hp supercharged V6's on some other forums, maybe even here?

[kickerofdoom]

That's a lot I don't know if anyone has that kind of power with a supercharger. Most who have big power use a turbo with built motor. Also remember that people who have supercharger have like 200-300 hp depends on mods

[Blackedout]

My v6 is going to compete with the newer v6s. I rather pay mods than pay the note. And I love my car.

[Kingmidas87]

I bet you could find an old army surplus mig jet engine for a pretty good price. Just throw that in there.

[lemons95]

the mig jet engine would probably put right in the darwin awards...
didn't the 351c come with 2v and 4v heads that were interchangeable. Someone told me the 2v and 4v heads were interchangeable on the clevelands but i've never looked to see if its true, is it? could we get custom 4V heads for are V6's?
