I got the Steeda pulleys installed today. I know a lot of people say they're not worth getting. Maybe I'm hallucinating. But I really feel like the car took off quicker after installing them.

Did you guys get the same experience?

Also I was a little worried about the water pump pulley not having a grove to keep the belt on.

also I noticed the paint chipping on my car hood and under it was DTR color.. I'm guessing my car was in an accident. Or maybe the previous owner wanted to make it faster by painting it black.

I noticed a difference also. The only bolt on that really did nothing for my car was the 3/8" intake spacer.

Thank you for sharing your experience with that. I'm not going to bother with that.

So far (i'm relatively new with marauders). I've got a tune, intake, and pulley. It drives like a different car now. I'd like to do 4.10s but the cost to install it in my area makes it almost not worth doing.

I think i'm going to do exhaust next. Even the headers are expensive for this car.

Consider the Stainless Works headers. They install nicely and add power and good sound.

I can offer you the best pricing on them.

It's a benefit plus mod, if you have an intake, larger TB, ported intake manifold and headers then there is a small gain from it.

The underdrive pulleys do make a difference. The motor responds quicker.

For the 4.10's try asking for references in the local Mustang forums. The Mustang 8.8 rear is the same as the Marauder's.

Can't say I really noticed a difference with my pulleys on but will be switching back to stock ones with the new motor to lessen the harmonic vibration.

Did the pulleys and intake spacer on Phoebe at the same time and did notice a small improvement, but I can't say if it was all from the pulleys or if any was due to the spacer.

I've noticed, while idle, power steering is not as smooth as it was before.

That's because the under drives make the pulleys turn slower. You will also notice the headlights dim at idle when you have all the accessories in use especially the A/C.

You can fix that by getting a tuner and a tune that increases the idle speed by 200RPM.

Contact Martyo for both. :beer:
