Pulleys
Newbie question - sorry if this is really obvious to you guys.
How would getting a RP underdrive power pulley, which underdrives the water pump and alternator by 15%, affect my car's performance? Pros and cons?

alternator will last longer and the car should idle smoother....mine did. However if you don't have an air pump you should invest in the double sheave pulley for the alternator. if not your belt could slip at the water pump and cause it to overheat a bit. Mine did also. just ran warmer than usual. But then i live in TEX-AS where it gets really hot during the summer.

Speaking of that. When you change out the main pulley do you have to worry about that plate slipping and crushing one of the internal bearings under the front cover?
