is it worth while to put a pulley kit on my 3.0 v6. dose any one have an idea of how much power gains i will recive or mpg gains. any info is apericiated

 

Underdrive pulleys and tuners are the most bang for the buck mods. Do it. Just don't get just the UD crank pulley, get the alternator OD pulley as well to speed that alternator back up.

 

???????? if not the underdog crank pulley than what ?
you just said yes get it and then no to the crank pulley ????


does anybody have the whole set up cuz im think of the same upgrade

 

shane means get both, not just one

 

UD = UNDERDRIVE...I shortened it up. I suggest the Underdog/stuffforyourranger.com pulleys.

I said yes to crank, but also yes to the OVERDRIVE alternator pulley. Get both, not just one. Or just get the combo Underdog sells.

You 3.0's have it good...andvery cheap. Us 4.0's gotta pay for a balancer too...our crank pulley is the same price as your pulley kit! lol.

 

ooooo ok
yeah i would get the whole kit , and not just one thing lol
.....so whats the hp gain on all that ? , and does the alternator pulley make a difference as power ...for subs like not making the lights go dim every time the sub hits? etc, etc

 

From what I've heard on here the crank pulley is the only one that adds anything for HP and Torque. I guess it averages like 8 HP and 10-11 ft/lbs of torque. The alternator pulley just spins the alternator back to stock power when used with the underdrive crank pulley.

 

get roller rockers too

 

 

No clue on additional power for the 3.0's, but on a 2005 mustang with the 4.0, It got 16 more horsepower.

 

Man I should probably do this to my 2.3 now, has anyone with a Lima done it already? Yes I know this is the 3.0 subforum but since we're listing other cars' power gains, couldn't hurt to ask.

 

justin, not sure if theres a pulley on the market for you. ASP used to make a 2.3 pulley. They discontunued it years ago. I (underdog) bought all the inventory they had left, which is all gone.

Its a great mod for any engine, as long as the end result doesn't leave you without a harmonic balancer.
