Default Quick Underdrive Pulley Question

Had to take my car to a shop to fix my harmonic balancer, because i didn't have any of the right tools for the job. While its there i asked them to pt my bbk underdrive pullies on, the belt ripped so i need a new belt but do i need a bigger one for the underdrive pulleys?

I HATE my u/d pullies, for all the undervolt problems you have at idle with
those things they are not worth the 3-4hp you get.

I just took mine off.

Mine ran fine with the pulleys. I only took them off because I had to when I got the supercharger. I even had a 560w (RMS, not Peak) sound system hooked up to it. Of course, I also had a 1.2 farad capicator to help with the load from the stereo. But it was still okay

I don't even have underdrive pullies on my fox and when I turn on the a/c, electric fan, headlights and barely run my stereo, my lights get dim as hell, and thats with a 2 month old 200 amp alternator. I still can't understand what the hell is going on with my charging system.

No problems here (my '83 GLX) with underdrive pulleys and 3G alt. I get full voltage at idle even with a relocated battery and electric fan.
