beside pdd, you'll need the pulley if you want to hit that 500rwhp mark.

Your worried about idle quality even after all the mods you have, I think you have probably been through a variety of idle issues. Anyway it shouldnt hurt idle at all, it only slows down your accessories, no tune necessary. Only get the crank underdrive not the alternator. If you are really worried about lights dimming and always want a big charge do what I did get a Optima Yellow top battery and V-Plus Volt Booster. I can run every feature in my car and the needle barely even moves and the lights never dim on anything. The V-Plus Volt Booster will make your alternator put out 2.2 more volts at 70% throttle I believe and give more power to your ignition system, fuel pump, basically anything that is drawing power on WOT blast. Yes it really does work Im glad I bought it.

Basically, by making the crank pulley smaller and lighter, it makes the rest of the accessories turn slower. If you want to make sure your lights don't dim at idle, I'd look at an alt. overdrive pulley.
It's the same concept the '03 Cobra guys use on their factory superchargers - smaller pulley = more RPM's = more horsepower.
