Are they worth it?

[hlansford]

I've been considering buying steeda charge motion control plates and sr performance under drive pulleys. I already have 4.10 gears, bbk shorty tuned headers, Jlt series 3 cai, bbk throttle body, full exhaust, and a tune. With all that in mind do you think the control plate and pulleys are worth buying?

The plate delete is worth it for F/I. The pulley is worth a little bit.

Save up for a whipple IMO

So you'd say get the pulley but not the plate? I'm not ever going to run forced induction be its my daily driver.

I didn't like the plates on my car. I lost low end torque and my MPG took a hit too. Not a good mod for a DD IMO. No experience with the pulleys, always kind of thought they were a useless mod.

The pulley is functional, looks worlds better and might pick up 5HP +/-. I did install the Steeda on mine.

I like the CMDPs. I bought some DIY ones for a good deal and I think they help with the mid range to top end. They'll compliment the centri blower when I get it too.

I didn't bother with UDPs since I want a blower.

How'd you like the control plates?

I installed the FRPP intake, which deleted them.

LITO did a controlled test with deletes and keeping a/f identical. There was a 1HP difference. As others have pointed out, it softens the bottom end. I knew I would be F/I, so wanted them gone.
