Default I dumped my Underdrive Pulleys today.

Actually, I only had the Crank Pulley left on there, but I'm all done.

I charged my A/C and it blows cold now. I'm happy. My 3G Alt takes it all now. I still have the 4-cyl Electric Fan on there which isn't enough to let my ride idle forever, but it stays cool longer now that the the Water Pump spins faster. I think if I had a better fan with a more complete shroud, I'd be set will the cooling. I still run the stock Radiator.

Underdrives are good for some more power, but I it's a big tradeoff for a few extra ponys. I'll take reliable charging, cooling, and cold A/C.

$.02

Anyone wanna buy my set??? I have the March Race Set. $50, and I have new cap bolts in the wrappers. That's $10 if you were wondering, and I have the reciept for them too.

I did the R-134 conversion, but it's still pretty nice. Better than none at all.

Of course. I still have the original box. They are made by March. I'll still let them go for $50 shipped.

They are the Steel Set though. Sorry, but that's still 12hp at the wheels. That's a gain you can feel. I'll have to get that 3.73 rear gear that my camshaft needs to make up for the lost seat of the pants feel.
