I just installed underdrive pulleys and roller rockers last night and WOW what a difference. I should have installed one at atime and drove the car to see which helped more but I didn't, so which do you think helped the most. Not that it matters just wondering.

that was probably your biggest gain out of the 2. but the UD pulleys helped to a little im sure

Yea, the rockers definitely. Youve added alot of extra cylinder filling capability, so youve picked up a decent amount of lower end torque

:slap: Don't discourage him, at least he's not driving a Honda with a big wing on it :hail:
Mario, while I agree with Jim, I still see no problem with you enjoying what you got, just don't sink too much $ into it that you'll never get back.

sorry if i came off to sound like an ass..i just personally dont see the point but like i tried to say..its your car and if u enjoy..go for it
Don't listen to these guys. :P
Good for you Mario for actually doing what you want to your Taurus without caring what other people say or think about it. Screw opinions. It's your car....do what you like. :cool:

well i mean, yes my car is slow. i am contemplating doing an SHO motor and manual transmission swap. but no1 with a taurus has fully cranked out full potential for the 3.0 vulcan. some of the ranger guys have a bit, but some of that stuff doesnt go onto our motors. and at the moment i "could" sell this and get a stang, sure, but my parents cant afford the extra insurence, plus i like having 4 doors. plus, roller rockers arent that expensive, and there have been people to do em. i figure with about $500 in stuff and $250 for full dynotune, i could be down a full second by springtime
