i got an underdrive pulley from mazdaracing.com for $60. I had to do the front cover oil seal so I figured why not do it at the same time. I can't really tell you how much of a difference it made as I did some other mods at the same time. Just remember, if you do end up doing it, wedge the clutch down before you loosen the main pulley bolt, you don't wanna screw up anything in there. Trust me, I am speaking from experience.

My third gen buddy took his underdrive pully off... unless you're driving, the voltage will drop like a stone at idle and you'll be running off your battery.... i really do not suiggest using them for a full time street car.

The pulley's do add power i don't understand the misscomprehention that everyone has, possibly because they are usually sold as LIEGHTWIEGHT underdrive pulleys. The wieght is not what adds the power its that facts that it turns your accessories slower. For those of us with a/c and P/s and still using our airpumps will see a bigger gain that those like myself that are only useing and altenator. And yes they will make the altenater make less amps, which suck for our already shitty system i say get a 3rd gen alt.
