Default Underpullies

I have done pretty much all the bolt-ons I have planned with the exception of underpullies. I use my A/C often in the summer and find myself sitting in lots of summer traffic.

A) Do I have to worry about the amount of cold air I will be getting with underpullies?

B) Do I have to worry about alternator charge problems?

C) What DO I have to worry about IF anything at all?

For an extra 2 hp...is the trade off worth it?

Thanks in advance.

A) I didnt notice enough difference on the cold air from the ac blows. Havent had them on while its 100+ degrees out yet, but 80 and 90's havent caused any problems
B) Only if you have extra amps and a sub would this be an issue. For an exact difference how much the alternator charges, I dont have
C) Those would be the only two concerns. Other than that if you are thinking about getting a SC, you will have to pull the U/D pullies off and put the stock pullies back on

A) Do I have to worry about the amount of cold air I will be getting with underpullies? NO

B) Do I have to worry about alternator charge problems? NO, as long as you do not have a bunch of stero equiptment with amps that draw a lot of power
C) What DO I have to worry about IF anything at all? Nothing

For an extra 2 hp...is the trade off worth it? I gained 8 RWHP when I installed my Steeda pullies (car was Dynoed before and after pully install)

Thanks in advance. No problem

BTW I live in southwest Florida and sit in traffic every day, have had my pullies for almost a year without any problems. Defently worth the money.

You guys are the best!

I want to keep my car NA so no SC or NO2. So I guess I'm ok there.

I also have the stock MACH 460 system so no need for more AMPS.

8 more HP is worth that kind of $ IMO.

Any preference of Steeda over BBK or vice versa?

Steeda's work great. Any other brand double check and make sure they are not piggy back. Some brands make both the piggyback versions and non- piggy back versions.

H2O NO2 N2O...lol

Good thing I'm staying NA....lol

I have heard there are no issues with Steeda and that is always my main concern. I am aware of piggy backs and to avoid them but thanks for the heads up!

Now to search for the best px!

Thanks again fellas!!!
