: So I was looking around online to see if i could find a good deal and add some decent hp to my car and Welcome to RPM Outlet is offering a package of underdrive pulleys and an SCT tuner for like $500 would that be even do anything to my car and is that a deal or rip off?

Alot of people like underdrive pulleys they do add alittle hp but i think they are not worth it. i have to many problems with charging after installing them just i know alot of people will disagree. Do you have any thing do to car at all? timing bumped up, gears?

They actually free up lost hp It's a decent cheap mod.

I wouldnt go over 25% you will start to have problems with your electrical system and they cost too much. I cut a deal with a guy on ebay and got my ASP Pulley for $140, and thats with belt and S&H! Try looking on ebay, they usually have perty good deals on there.

No i havent done anything to my car yet, its completely stock... for now. I'm looking to buy my first mod but I want to find something that will give my car some decent hp

I would start with gears and tuner. The gears itself won't add any power but acts like a torque multiplier thus giving you better acceleration down low and gets you into the power ban quicker. The tuner will add some ponies but it's important to have to recal the gears. Unless you don't have the money for the tuner than a speed cal will do

When you say gears you mean the underdrive pulleys, right? or is that something else (sorry I'm new to all this) and I've been looking @ the SCT livewire tuner Would that be a good choice?

Gears are not pulleys. Their purpose is to get you into the powerban quicker and it doesn't add any hp but it does give off the line performance. As far as the the tuner goes, I would go with the X3 or Diablo

Man thats what want because all my friends have light weight 240s or civics. so they are able to takeoff quicker. Where can I find these gears at?

Go to the American Muscle website and there you will be able to find them there. Contact AMNick, he can give you the discount code.

American muscle is good place to look, but you can also look on google shopping. Just type in "Ford 7.5" ring and pinion" (7.5" is the rear end size on your car)

Just FYI, gears will cause you to lose some MPG. UD pullies will give you better MPG.

you will probably want to get the 3.73 gears and cold air intake and exhaust just a few of the basic mods

Does that come With a 7.5" 28 Spline Traction - LOK Limited Slip Differential or is that something totally different?

It's a separate mod, but it is a good idea when you get the gears. Some have kits that come with them if you look around.
