I had some steeda udp installed over the weekend and first thing I noticed is that I have my rpms set at 850 and they seemed to be the same after the install which I thought they would drop down a little, my voltage stayed the same also. Also I felt no power gain at all, so I was just wondering if anyone else who had them installed seen very little to no gain as far as sotp.

It's only 3-4 HP, I don't think you can feel it.

I thought it was ten horsepower...but NONE of my mods were noticed in seat of the pants measurements (SOTP)...

Only mods with real SOTP improvement are:
Headers
Gears
Torque Converter
Supercharger
Increased Displacement

The rest are minimal, maybe 5-10 hp. No SOTP improvement, but measureable on the dyno or 1/4 mile.

you'll also help the life of your accessories by not spinning them as fast.

Sorry I just couldn't not say something after that remark. Ha. The flip side is you are running important accessories like your friekin water pump and alternator, slower and making them less effective, for what, 3 hp? If I want to gain 0.001 in the 1/4 mile I will skip lunch and be lighter.
