not at all they actually help reduce the drag on your engine by slowing down the accessories.
In theory they should make the engine last longer.

RE: pulleys
UDPs for over a year in 100*+ heat and no cooling issues. Then again, I have the 281, not a 302.
Oh, and I had piggy back pulleys, but those caused vibration in the crank and the ECM threw codes and multiple misfires. They lasted 3 months before I replaced them with Steeda.

RE: pulleys
I run underdrive pulleys on my 302...mainly because the accessories can't handle the rpm the engine is capable. To me, that's pretty much teh only reason to get pulleys...save your accessories from a modified engine.
And I don't have any cooling/charging problems.

RE: pulleys
Ive heard stories of the pulleys slowing down your cooling system and not flowing enough air and ppl dying of carbon monoxide poisoning in their cars. Its proven. It hasnt happen to me yet but i got 150 rwhp when i did my pulleys.
Come on guys. Im jm. Idk pullies dont really do anything. Most ppl get them so they can have one more thing on their car. Or to get chrome or red or blue on their engine.

RE: pulleys
I have pulleys and I'll let you know that you CAN'T feel a differance and I get crappy a/c charge and battery charge at stops light and long periods of idle. I'll be sitting at a light and my headlights will go dim. The same thing happens with the a/c. The air will stop blowing as hard, once I've idled for so long. If you're going to spring for a mod that isn't that expense, I would go with CAI, Midpipe, Short Throw, or save a little more and by a tuner....
