Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.
1) Remove and measure your current belt with stock damper/pulley's.
2) Wrap a string around the damper and pulleys, leaving the tensioner in the relaxed position. Note the difference in inches between the string and your stock belt. 3) Install new pulleys, wrap string and get measurement. Subtract amount wrote down from step two and that is the new belt length you need. |
Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.
Still debating the CobraR Alt & PS pulley's...
What kinda gains will I see from them!? You think it is worth the Cost? How hard is install? |

Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.
OMG, this thread is still going???
This is just people not able to make a "small" decision for themselves....and/or some people just love to argue no matter what. BOTTOM LINE.... If your spooked, or have second thoughts about it, Don't run them!!!! 99% of the time it's only gonna net ya under 10hp anyways. I don't think 10hp is even gonna get you half a 10th in the quater. Yes, some of us have had them on for years with no issues but, If your not as confident as some of us, JUST DON"T BUY THEM... Sorry to be prick but how many of these threads are we gonna have over the years????? The results never change...the arguments never change.:crazy: |
Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.
I believe he's talking about the pullies, not the balancer. Accessory pullies dont have any issues that would cause concern other than the alternator not charging until the engine reaches 1800'ish RPM.
The alt and PS pullies will probably net you about 3 - 5 horsepower. For some people that can be substantial. From a cost per dollar standpoint it is right in line or better than most other mods. At a certain point in the quest for more horsepower it becomes more about many small improvements. |

Thanks for clearing this up I was going to buy them but now forget it. 15 HP is not worth the headache.

I guess going through your old oil with a fine tooth comb upon oil changes? Never thought of that one? :23: |

I was worried that running the underdrive Steeda damper in combination with the Cobra-R alternator pulley would cause battery charging probems, but none whatsoever. In Sean Hyland's book, he of course reccomends staying away from underdrive pulleys, but then in the back of the book he has a series of engine recipes for different horsepower levels. Every one of these recipes includes the Steeda damper....what kind of sense does that make?...lol. |

Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.
First of all sorry for adding onto to this tread, but I haven't seen this yet. How would a lighter flywheel affect engine with UDP's and/or without them?? just curious.
