I'm pretty much new to the Mistsu family. I bought my 03 Eclipse GTS in April of this year and I don't know too much about this car's capabilities. I was just wondering, what benefits (if any) would underdrive pulleys would give me?

In my opinion, if you're looking to squeeze out every bit of extra hp that you can from your car they may help a little, but it probably wont be too noticable. Its up to you whether or not you think its worth it.

I have heard the under drive is not worth doing unless you do all pulleys.

If you enjoy a/c and heating be carefull b/c they wont work as well with the smaller pullys on there. They do free up some horses thou.

I agree 100 percent. if i was going to do it i would do all of them too. What would be the point in just doing one or two. So, are we looking at probably less than 7 HP gained?
