Default Underdrive pulleys

Any one running underdrive pulleys? Any noticable performance gains? Most likly im gonna get a set for my 318. I know it might run a little hotter, so im gonna throw a 180 thermostat on, and the charging system might be lower, is there any other negative efeects of these?

There are a few people here that run them. You might get the answer quicker, if you do a search.

i have just the asp crank pulley. small bump in power. had it on for awhile now. no cooling issues(i have electric fan). and no charging problems unless it is let set and idle for a long period. like 10minutes. and that is only if the truck is up to temp and fan kicks on.i just have the crank pulley. i think if you were to get a whole set you wouldnt have any issues at all. donnt think i would use them if i had a huge stereo system though.

I am running the alternator and crank pulleys, which is the march set i love them except the amperage drop at idle and dimming of the lights...noticeable power gains though
