Looking into picking one up, are there any drawbacks with a mostly bolt on modded car? Have cai, lt headers, gears, x pipe, tund, porTed tb. And secondaly, which brand is best?

Haven't had any issues with them, we also run them on our personal cars. I use Powerbond personally!

Yea ive heard powerbond and slp as the top two names. Was just hoping to get a feel on what people prefer and if any issues on non cammed or heavy modded cars. Also who seems to have em on the cheap? how soon am I gonna need to get the tune adjusted after.putting it on?

Just had a PowerBond 25% UDP installed on mine.

I have a PowerBond 25% on my car, full bolt on with cam. No problems what so ever. I cant tell you if there was a power gain because I went stock to extreme all at once, but I see no draw backs yet. If you buy it from Texas Speed, they give you the correct belts and a new bolt.

I dynoed a car last week before and after a 25% underive install. I wad shocked to see the gains. It picked up an average of 7rwhp. It was a fluidampr.

Is it a not stupidly complicated diy?

Piece of cake with the correct tools. It's held on with a single bolt...but that bolt can be a PITA to remove. Air tools, a large breaker bar and a torque wrench come in very handy.

Would I want to go with a 10 or 25 ud pulley on a non cammed.na car?

I have a 25% on mine with the stock cam.

I have the Fluidampr 25% underdrive. No issues at all. The A/C pulley remains stock so there is no change is compressor RPM.

tanur420 · 10-09-2012, 01:43 PM

Can i do an underdrive pulley alone or do i need to do other pullies to compliment it?
