dsgrntld187 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Have any of you had any experience with a W-body with one of FFPs ud pulleys on a 3100? I bought one off of ebay (FFP brand) for 35 bucks, and I'm just wondering how much I'll notice this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornerdealy Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 im also interested in how much it affects the feel of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I never installed one in my Cutlass when I had it, but I never heard any complaints on these. You will probably notice an increase in lowend power/throttle response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 i'm pretty sure it's 5-8 additional HP...i noticed a big difference with the 3.4 FFP UDP though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Maybe I'll pick one up once I go get my Z.. I swear, I wish someone local bought this truck as opposed to 300 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 yeah...i saw that before and was another one wondering about how much of a difference it would make...also, if its COMPLETLEY SAFE and won't harm anything on the engine... :? ...would it be WORTH IT!? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsgrntld187 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Mine never dies out on me, even in the cold, so I'm betting the UD pulley won't hurt it at all. If it does, I'll get the Mantpart one that has the bigger alternator pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
