Supposedly the MARCH underdrive pully eliminates the battery-alternator-charging system probs.

not entirely, it is just sized so the alternator spins a bit faster than their competition. it would still be a problem if you have a large stereo installed.

yeah you are right. Eliminate was the wrong word. Maybe the correct statement is, "the March underdrive setup can minimize charging problems related to underdrive pullies due to their alternator pully size"? I suppose this also means that you may get slightly less HP gain if March is going to spin your alternator faster?

Powermaster makes some high output ones and East Coast Auto Electric makes them for drag cars.
