Default I need U/D pulley help

I have been reading more and more into U/D pullies and seen that they retain the charging and cooling properties as stock. They take away from steering and A/C which is okay with me. I want to know if BBK is as good as Steeda? And if these are as good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-97...spagenameZWDVWI don't want "piggy back" and I really don't know what piggy back's look like. I don't mind spending $200 I just want to do them once! If I can save some $$$$ that would be good. Thanks

piggyback means its not worth it, and it wont last as long as steeda's. i ordered the steedas, and i wonder how much it affects your a/c? is it a noticeable? because i like my a/c.

Quite a bit actually. Your A/C pump and P/S pump are the only accessories that get under driven. My friend did a test on his Z-28. He ran a solid 10degrees colder with out pullies only at idle. Barely any difference with steering. Only at idle when you crank your wheels will you notice some bind. While you are moving, nothing as long as your rpms are above 1k, since 25% of 800rpms is 200. You will need to run 25% more rpms to make up for the loss which is 1000rpms.
