the potential problems that could occur due to slowing down the accessories isnt worth the minimal hp gain.
POTENTIAL is the key word. I have had my pulleys on since I bought the car and have had no problems at all.

i'd go with a 75mm TB.
On his stock heads/intake???

um, better get ready for a re-build, the only alt designed to spin slowwer is the 1G 100 amp. The 3G's do get rather hot when spun slowly

lol, the only reason that I put a throttle body, is because I wanted to see how it ligns up with other minor bolt on mods. Are there any bolt-ons out there that give a good SOTP difference? Nothing major just a little bit more power that I can feel that can hold me over for a while? Here's another question, are there any other small mods that will help me accelerate a lil better in 3rd gear? I'm going to try and swap over my exhaust from the vert to the hatch tomorrow, hopefully that will do something for me besides sound.

well thats what i thought but the alternator was off a 95 5.0 and the underdrive alternator pullie that came with the kit was the same size as the one on the alternator off the 95 5.0. and it was a stock pullie.

i say go with the 3.73 gears if you are going to add more hp. 4.10 to much shifting and you wont hook up(traction). just my opinion

udp was my very first mod and i honestly think money could be spent else where. just save ur money for a more worth while mod like an intake and then get a tb when u could actually see the difference. or GEARS since i know u drive a lot just to get to and from school get some 3.55's but those are my recommendations

I was gonna do it but after seeing what problems may arise I said no way. My car runs way to good to start screwing around with the accesories.

Same here, I'm happy with my 3.27s and they're going to stay, they're perfect for me, I'm always on the interstate lol, I would go with 3.55's but i don't think that there would be that much of a difference. Well I'm going to say screw the pullies, I've almost got my exhaust done on the hatch, I got a notion to start it today. I'm swapping over the headers, the h-pipe, and keeping the catback with the vortex muffs for now. This should help me out somewhat, I can't wait to hear what it sounds like with the headers, the o/r hpipe and the 2 chamber muffs.
