When I bought my Mustang I knew I wanted to add some easy bolt-on power gains, so I started out with the basics (i.e. CAI, performance muffler, underdrive pulley). What I failed to realize was how my choices in the short-term would effect what I have planned in the long-term. Specifically, the future installation of a supercharger.
I'm not totally beating myself up b/c, to be quite honest, I didn't know I wanted a supercharger until fairly recently. But that doesn't change the fact that I bought an ASP underdrive pulley without really thinking it through. I mean, who would want to underdrive a belt driven power adder?
So with lesson learned I've decided to pass along these two tidbits for my fellow performance seekers:
1) I am auctioning off my ASP pulley on ebay at a loss (as is usually the case when one makes a mistake). If a supercharger is NOT in your future and you've been thinking about some more bolt-on HP, feel free to bid http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...=4645170295&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MESE:IT&rd=1
2) For those of you are thinking of or just starting to make some purchases, especially those of you like me who are on a budget, remember to keep your eye on the big picture. Take your time and think it through. For example, don't invest in 4.10 gears for a 7.5 rearend if your goal is to add a SC or TC with more than 10 psi of boost -- instead save up and get yourself a 8.8 rearend.
