If you are considering an Underdrive Pully for power, could you reconsider?? Not much of a noticeble power increase at all. I did AFR 205's 59cc heads, Meziere EWP, and ASP ud Pully all at once. I picked up 70 rwhp. I would say 10-15 came from the pully and the ewp. The good news is, I may not have made 20 rwhp from the pully and pump, but I did pick up about 4-6 more mpg on the Expressway. May sound hard to believe, and call BS if you like but I made the 1200 mile trip from Texas to Michigan on 2 full tanks. When I pulled into my driveway I still had gas left. On the way down I had to stop and get a 3rd tank. Showed up at LG with a little over 1/2 a tank to do dyno testing with after the new parts were installed. Pully alone should give you 2-3 mpg improvement. Just make sure you use the cruise control and set it around 80. Thats what I did and I couldn't believe that I drove over 8 hrs before I needed to stop and get gas. Gotta love the open highway sitting behind the wheel of a C5. Results may vary on a non C5 application. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

Here is a link to one of our sponsers pages. Texas Speed has the belts for not so bad price, and some of the other sponsers have the belt included in the price, do some searching on the right of the differnt places you can get stuff from.
