I haven't seen any ABA tests for underdrive pulleys, nor have I seen anyone on this forum who has tried one. So it looks like savings estimates are just an educated guess. If there ends up being no savings, then I am out about $120.  |
Well have fun finding out. If you turn out correct at the rate you are guessing I suppose the part will pay for itself in a few years, no? Just guessing. Is the UDP lighter than the stock? Weigh it before it's installed, and ask for the removed stock part so you can weigh it and compare. Good luck.
