My Steeda UDPs are really good. Smooth, quiet, no charging problems, and a little bump in highway gas mileage.
jlee i have a 07 gt 5spd with 3.31's only thing previous owner did other than tubular rear suspension is steeda throttle spacer and pypes muffler deletes
still has factory airbox(yuk) and muffler forward exhaust im looking for more hp for this summer and already eyeing a bama tuner

I had my Steeda UDPs installed at the same time as my custom DIY CMCV delete plates in March last year. Nice increase in power as well as gas mileage so it was a win win. :D

I'd throw away the TB spacer and I personally prefer Brenspeed tuning. I'd look into ordering a JLT Series 3 CAI, SCT X4, and Steeda UDPs
It'll take you from a stock ~270 rwhp to about 295 at the wheels while helping gas mileage (if you can stay out of it) and the car run smoother.

My best mod by far has been a Barton short throw shifter.

I have the SR Performance ones, they look cool, did them at the same time as some other stuff so I couldn't tell if they made a difference or not.

The billet water pump pulley is definitely pretty sweet though.

BTW you can install them without removing the radiator.

Air raid is very good on most cars, but the JLT and C&L tend to be the best on the 4.6 3v. Just steer clear of cheap CAIs and ones that don't require a tune. A quality filter is vital to your engines longevity and a quality system will have a top notch filter, large diameter tube, and good temperate control.

I am running Steedas on my 2001 GT, haven't been on for long but the engines seems to run smoother and rev a little better. Unsure on mpg (my odometer is off now due to my 4.10s). I only recommend Steeda UDPs on the 4.6L (2V or 3V)...

you get what you pay for and thats not a bad thing. Its all about managing your expectations.
10hp is 10hp
all a matter of spending 260 or 160 :)

Don't skimp on pullies...get the Steeda's and be done with it. There is a reason why they cost more and they are worth every penny, in quality and performance...

I got the SR's on sale and got a good deal on them...otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought any. But, like I said, they do look pretty cool, I just wish I had sprayed a little paint on the crank pulley because it's rusty now.

Back in 2005/2006 Steeda was one of the ground breaking companies for S197 mods. Since then other companies have come up and make good stuff as well. I like companies that have been around for a while and do lots of realistic testing. Those that make good products and stand by their products usually out live the others.

Some years back, Breenspeed ran a special deal with a SCT tuner, three of their semi-custom tunes and a set of Steeda underdrive pulleys. I remember it was a big savings over individual pricing. I've been a happy camper ever since.
