Default Underdrive pulleys

I installed my Underdrive pulleys today, changed the crank case and alt. lost so alt. power but it ok i don't use much elec.and while I was under the hood I cut the wings off my throttle body made a decent improvement to me. Well those who are looking to get the pulleys the new belt size will be 15/16" x 95-3/4". I got the gates belt part # K070951

You have to use a impact gun socket size 7/8" to remove the alternator nut. the crankcase socket size is 1/2" if I remember correct.

Ha!

The loss of power to my accessories is one reason why I wont get underdrive pulleys. The 7 or so horsepower "freed-up" from underdrive pulleys is not worth it to me.

The crank pulley is the pulley on the crankshaft. Underdrive pulleys slow down the accesories (underdrive) and and free up horsepower.

ASP makes underdrive pulleys:
