there are a TON of threads about this over on DT.
i'll sum them up: yes, its a good mod, but not if you have an efan or aftermarket stereo, because it causes the amps to drop in the alternator (by running slower). that can be reversed by adding an inexpensive overdrive pulley on the alternator. amps stay normal, and you get the added hp of the crank UD pulley. win/win

its imperative that you get an underdrive pulley WITH a harmonic dampener. otherwise the UD pulley can and will destroy your engine due to vibrations at higher rpms
