- How to install underdrive pulley LS1 Trans Am WS6
Decided to start a few power upgrades to my 2002 Trans Am WS6. I have done several videos on this car but no real performance gains. This is going to be the first of many upgrades. Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to see what else goes on and for new track times.....

I haven't thought about my underdrive pulley in a long time. I think I paid $300 for 8hp to the tire from SLP back in the day. That was a common mod back in the early 2000's. Think it was the first mod to my Camaro. Kids got it so easy these days. Weren't many budgets performance option's It was almost10k for just H/C/I That was fine for hunting fox bodies But in 03'-04' when them terminators came out. Them 243s and ls6 intake just weren't enough.
Definitely the game has changed
Travis, I have a 99 Trans Am and your videos are definitely my go to, favorite page. What is your background in cars? We’re you a mechanic? Or Learned from working on stuff in your own garage? Very knowledgeable
Thank you. I learned by doing and reading
Nice Video Bro!! sub!!!
Did you manage to improve the times on the track?
Thank you. I did a little better but now its torn apart for upgrades.
By the way. How did it or how is that pulley mod. holding up? Thinking bout doin mine. Thanks as always, Mike in DFW
Held up great but swapped to stock size ati
Good video! Doesn't look like a bad job at all. Do you have headers in the car?
DarrenWS6 thank you. yes and I did a video on that. It will be up next week
Awesome. I have longtubes and OR/Y for my WS6, your installs are very clear and great to follow so I'm highly interested in your take on a header install. I look forward to it!
New sub 👍
Og Fast T awesome thanks for subscribing
Any difference to note with the UD pulley and the ported TB was thinking about porting mine..did you happen to video doing it? If so post it up..you have a great channel with a good mix and I’m really enjoying the fbody content among others..thanks for making the vids!
Thank you. Unfortunately I didn't make a porting video. I should have. As far as the difference, it does have a little better throttle response. It's not like a 100 shot of nitrous though lol. Wish it were!
The SLP Balancer, I noticed it had a keyway and your factory didn't.
Did I miss u adding keyway, before install?
No it is meant to work with any crank including one with a keyway
I've heard alot of good and bad what do you think is the down side
Back in the early ones they said the harmonics broke the factory timing chain. That is the only down I have heard of. That was a LONG time ago though.
Why put link of tools you obviously didn't use at all?
I used all the tools in the description.
@@TWAMotorsports Not for the Flywheel Holding tool. You use MAFracingtool from Ebay and you ICT billet on amazon. This one can't be use with trans out of the car. It's good for me because I would buy the MAFracingtool, but I didn't know if it was quality stuff.
For the pulley installer you obviously don't use the "Yoursme" from amazon too. For the rest it's ok
@@Guiohms.m50 yeah I couldn't find the link for the brand I had. Sorry about that. Good eye.
Good video Do you have any videos on wiring up your LS in your Trans Am?
It is an ls so it came wired
No problems with under voltage from the alternator being ran slower? I did the same thing to my 2001 Trans Am and had to install an overdrive alternator pulley.
I have never had any issues with that.
Did the larger overdrive alternator pulley fix the issue my pulley came with the overdrive alt pulley but is still stalling out on me
Yes it did
@@MrShawnc992001 any idea why it does that
What do you mean by “stalling out?” Is it not charging?
Did you notice any improvement over the stock pulley?
A little. It revs a little faster. It's not a huge difference however.
Great video! I would like to purchase balancer installer tool the link you have on description isn't working can you help with link please.
Thank you. I fixed the link👍
How do you know when the crank pulley is fulley seeded back in?
If your using the install tool it will be hard to turn or look at the alignment with other pulleys.
I don't see the times stock 1/4 mile run, where is that at?
Daniel Hunsinger I am doing multiple things and then taking it to the track.
What type of relocation bracket? About to put Vikings all around
Haze89 bmr relocation Brackets. I also will be doing Vikings
BTW you said in this vid that you had added the slp lid and filter and maybe something else, and you wanted to test your mods as you went along. Im wondering what my slp lid, with kn filter, and smooth bore bellow, (mine already has the LS6 intake manifold, its a upgrade for 2000, 1999, 1998 and supposed to give a pretty good increase in hp and torq) and also a power programmer. Im not sure if I have a upgraded exhaust on my ws6, have not seen beneath the car and dont know what the code may be if there is one for upgraded exhaust. But its almost as loud as my 95 ta with flowmaster cat back american thunder series but still may be stock... anyways... do you know what my RWHP might be?
If it's an auto probably around 320 to the wheel. 335ish if manual transmission
Excuse my ignorance, but what are the pros and cons of doing this conversion?
Pro is maybe 5-10hp. No cons really.
@@TWAMotorsports how does it affect your accessories? Power steering/alternator etc etc?
@@peterwindle4453 they will spin a bit faster but I have never had any issues.
@@TWAMotorsports and how about fuel consumption? Better, worse, no difference?
@@peterwindle4453 no change in fuel economy
Is that the only performance pulley offered? My 95 TA LT1 had crank and alt pulleys but all Ive seen for sale for 02 LS1 is just the crank
Yes on the ls motor they don't really sell a alternator pulley like the lt1 stuff.
Is it a factory size or 25%ud???
25% not factory
Once torqued to 240, was the front shaft flush with the pulley or was the pulley sticking out just a little bit?
Sticks out a little bit
TWA Motorsports thanks!
2.40 to 4.48mm past the crankshaft snout
Do you still have a link for the installation tool?
Links in video description
What in the world would you change this for??? What’s it supposed to achieve??
Supposed to free up around 10 hp do to less rotating mass.
Whats your occupation if i may, just curious?
Retail telecommunications company.
question, how do we take off the new balancer?
With a different style puller. It has threaded inserts
Why holding the flywheel?
Because the motor will turn when you try to tighten
Was just looking at buying one of these didn't know if the pros of a new one?
Mike Williams new ones look nice but no real benefit. I would have bought new but a buddy was selling a used one.
Can the same puller be used on in Lt1
Its been so long since I have done one of those I don't remember
Why can't you just take a impact to pull the balancer bolt out?
Not the method I prefer
@@TWAMotorsports yea I agree after reading I bought the part that holds the flywheel in place thanks for video helped alot
👍
Ok I got the bolt out but I cannot for the life of me get the balancer off I have put all my weight into trying to remove it I feel like if I did anymore I'd end up damaging something? I can't get my impact in even if I wanted to any ideas? I did heat up the bolt to remove it but I'm not sure if I can do the same thing with the puller itself. Any help would be appreciated
You need the correct balancer puller to remove
Ok here's your first problem, your original pulley has no keyway to match up timing Mark's etc with Underdriven pulley. Your Underdriven pulley can now spin free under high load. Unless you pin or machine a keyway on the crank.
So you run the risk of spinning the pulley loose. Really stupid, rookie mistake which will lead to failure
Never been an issue on non supercharged cars
Your problem is talking!
