RE: underdrive pullies
You won't need a different size belt as long as you have all the usual stuff on it (smog pump, pwr steering, ect)
I got motosport on mine, never heard any real difference between the brands, with the exception of various sizes...
It's ok for a daily driver... You will feel a little more pep but nothing to write home about...

A smaller belt will work but I think as long as your tensioner still has tension you should be ok
Daily driver? Yes if you do a lot of Highway driving. If you do a lot of city then charging your batt could have issues...unless you have a higher amp alt.
They claim up to 15hp but I think you will get around 7. Not a in your pants feel but your engine should rev quicker and you should get a little gain.

i'd go for steel cause i've heard aluminum wears out quicker... also for a dd in the city might not be good. tends to overheats sometimes because it slows down the accesories.
no real gain... i plan on doing a bunch at a time like remove somg and ac and add u/d pullies which will result in a bigger difference but like said up there ^^^ nothing to write home for

I heard that the Foxbody cars have problems with the charging system when putting these pulleys on. I'm not a 100% because I have a 95......Just a thought make sure.......
