Underdrive Pulleys?

RE: Underdrive Pulleys?
I've got a set of BBK's, with my 3g alt I haven't had a single problem, and the water pump is just fine. You can usually find used sets on stangnet.com or corral.net Worth the $40 I paid.

RE: Underdrive Pulleys?
I have underdrives with the same issues. Discharging at idle.
Thoughts on the matter. So what. I only idle at red lights and in bumper to bumper traffic. 95% of time my engine is running, it's not idling. The 5% of the time it's discharging has never killed my battery or ran it low enough to be a problem.
This is from a true daily driven Mustang. AC, rear window defrost and a regular alternator.

MAC aluminum U/D pullies. Stock radiator. Imperial 18 inch flex fan(not electric).
After beating the **** out of the car, which I do pretty much every day, I have no cooling problems andrun around 170* ( i think previous owner put in a lower t stat?)
No discharging problems with new OEM alternator.
I noticed the difference, on a pretty stock mustang(just had 3.55s at the time). Enough so that it made driving the car a new experience(you know when u just cant wait to get back in and drive it.)
With just the pullies and gears I ran 14.402.

RE: More Underdrive Pulley questions
It seems like some people have problems and others dont, i still dont know if im going to get them because like i said before is that i have a very demanding sound system in the car, granted im not playing it at full volume all the time but i think the combination will kill my alternator. maybe i can look into geting a bigger alternator and then getting them, do you think that would solve the problem?
