ASP Underdrive CRANK pulley is all that is really needed. Those percentages are how much it slows everything down. I say just get the crank ASP its all you need.

What he said. BUT, I do like my billet water pump pulley! Plus it was getting close to time to change the belt, so I bought the whole kit. The % is actually how much smaller the pulley is. I got the 42% so it's 42% smaller than the original's size. Plus it transfers more HP to the rear wheels than the 25%.

The kit I got from www.rpmoutlet.com came with a new Goodyear gatorback belt.
If you buy just the crank pulley, they got the belt there too.
