Default Simple Pulley question please help

Getting ready to install Maggie 112HH, should I put my stock pulley back on the crank, or leave my UD pulley on there? What difference will it make?

The underdrive pulley will cause the supercharger pulley to turn slower. If your supercharger pulley is turning slower, you will be moving less air. Up to a certain point, less air means less power (until heat becomes your limiting factor.)

So the answer is - putting on the underdrive pulley will probably reduce your power.
