Underdrive Pulley Kit
Is this a cost effective Mod, in that I did not install the Underdrive Pulley when I did my H/C package....I would love to add some more RWHP/RWTQ, but I don't want to spend tons of money if it just isn't worth it. I'm moving up North, so I have to now install HF Cats, depending on the cost I thought I'd get it all done at once while in the shop next time. Should I do it now or just leave the car the way it is....Opinions needed? Thanks ( I have a 2000 A4)

the gains really arent worth the trouble, especially if you are going to pay someone else to do the job. you may pick up 10rwhp in the upside case. if you already did the heads/cam deal, dont bother with the UD pulley. spend the cash on another performance mod.

I'm sending my car off to Lingenfelter later this month for H/C. I was questioning whether or not it would be worth it to pay for LS6 castings. They told me it would only be worth 15 RWHP and cost prohibitive. Better off to go with the underdrive pully for 10 RWHP so thats my plan.
