Default underdrive pulley or beefy alternator?

Hey guys, thinking I'm going to replace my alternator / battery since its been acting finikey lately, and has 75k miles on it. I was just wondering if its a better idea to get one of those 102amp alternators and some underdrive pulley from summit, or to get the beefy *** 150amp alternator they got and just be done with it.

Lastly, if anyone knows where I can find a deal on any of that stuff (as well as the belts!!) I would greatly appreciate the heads up. (Sponsors start you haggling!!)

-Erik

Wont the UD pulley also help since it's less spinning mass? I've read a lot on here about the UD pulley's, and with other mods it can help squeeze out a few more horsies.

I'd go with UD pulley and regular alternator. No reason to go crazy on a damn alternator lol.

If you get the ASP pulley it will come with an overdrive pulley for the alternator which will return it back to stock.

The ASP pulley is smaller, lighter, and looks better.
