Underdrive pullies will slow your alternator down. As a result your battery will not stay fully charged. Use atleast a 140amp alternator with underdrives.

Underdrive pullies free up some hp, but the accessories are now being spun slower, and reducing their efficiency. Namely the alternator and the waterpump.
