Underdrive Pulleys Only??
Has anyone here installed them on an otherwise stock 5.4? My truck has Y pipe back exhaust with a Flowmaster super 40 SI/DO. Otherwise stock. I don't care about more power, but my mileage is dog poop. I am hoping these will help, and may do fans also. But wanted to try pulleys first.

I have pulleys (and fans) and it's not that overwhelming. I think all the things you do combined together may have a small impact, but just the pulleys themselves will be negligible. Your fuel mileage will still be dog poop.

If you are wanting to do both it makes a lot of sense to do them at the same time. I never noticed much from my pulleys. The fans i noticed a bit in mileage but i really noticed the more responsive throttle. if you are wanting to do both eventually then do them both together because you have to take off all the fan and shroud to do the pulleys anyway. Will save some work down the road.

are you worried about city or highway mileage? or mixed?
|
Personally, I would take the money your going to spend on the pulleys, save a little more, and just get efans instead....

Great points about the fans. The fans were the one mod that you could instantly feel a difference in the motor in how free it revved and the improved throttle response. The motor just felt free. I think mines an isolated case, but I would not do fans again. The headaches I've had from my e fans doesn't outweigh the performance IMO.
